I was wondering what experience people have had of local camera clubs? I know we have the Local Groups topic where people can suggest starting a group in their local area, however, I don't know if these actually get of the ground?
There is a camera club in Chesterfield and I was wondering if it would be worth joining? I don't really want to get involved in a group were all they are interested in is bragging about who has the best camera, being told that canon are the best cameras, or who is the better photographer. That's why a Group of other Pentax owners seems more appealing. I have looked at their website but am not sure f they seem friendly enough!
Thanks

I also belong to my local camera club, we also meet loads more of like minded people in the federation (Welsh) although I live in England , and may I say a great bunch of characters they are, I have yet to find any snobs among them infact it would be frowned on.I was wondering what experience people have had of local camera clubs?

The only clubs you may find anything like that maybe in the specialist type of club.
Yes we do have friendly competition, but we also pick up tips from each other.
Well worth a go and if it does not appeal to you try another club.
Also you may be rather surprised how many lady members there are, and not just tea makers some very good photographers.

I have had a mobile phone for probably 14 years now and in that time have sent around 20 texts.Far to much Texting Mike, M8, oohh I do hate that.
I leave all the texting to the Boss (She who must be obeyed) if I want a peaceful life.

When I got my K10D (first DSLR) a upgrade path didnt even enter my head tbh as I thought it would be all I would ever need .. and still do.I agree, the only reservation I had when I decided to get my K20 was the lack of an upgrade path.

Just look at the spec of the 2 bodies and then make your decision, if you just want a camera for general use or new to DSLR the Km will do you well, but just because the K20 is being replaced at some time, don't let that put you off, many members are using K10's and just try to prise it out of their hands.
I will still be using my K20 for quite a while yet, just because there is a new model does not make my camera rubbish and at the moment the K20 has never been so good a buy £519 at SRS.
And 1st June prices go up.
