I thought we all were

some of the new Avatars are really confusing me

SteveEveritt with a spider ?

Fatspider with a bird ??

What on earth is beginner's latest offering ???

Helllllllllllllllllllp

But I think what some folk are forgetting is that we went through all this last year - lots of very helpful information about Pentax , and it went on and on for an 8 page thread over quite a considerable time .

I was not involved , but I remember reading it and wondering how folk could continue to be so helpful time after time after time when the questions kept coming.

Right at the end we found he'd gone to something else.

OK you have to make up your own mind about what suits you - no-one else can do that .

Then up popped Chrism_Scotland again - again lots of questions and a reason for his choice from last year - but he only had to re-read last year's thread - the comments were still valid - the only change on our side was the addition of the K5 and K-r.

I appreciate that where he lives he can't just pop into the local shop and feel and experience what's available - Edinburgh is enough of a distance to make it a full day trip - but there are shops there where he can go and feel them in his hand - some Pentax , some Olympus , some Canon , some Nikon and of course some Sony. They may not have them all - each shop will have a few , but it will give him a chance to see them in the flesh and then consider them with regard to what he has gleaned from users

This tale has so many twists it's beginning to get tangled up on itself

I wish him joy in whatever camera he finally decides upon - whether it's Pentax , Sony , Canon, Minolta etc etc .

I suspect we have a way to go yet before the journey is over - and judging on the past - we have this sort of thing every year

EEEK

Would have thought most folk would have got the hint after the reference to last year's 8 page thread

There's many a slip twixt cup and lip

I wonder if there are any cameras he has not bought

You carrying your PC with you then ? Just so you can continue to bash it to death

hmm - we have some blue bits of sky I'll admit , we also have some largish dark grey clouds and there are rain spots on my windows together with wet ground .

I'm beginning to think I'm suffering from SAD

I want some decent weather , I want to get out but neither I nor may camera are waterproof
