Hey! I hang out at the pentax forums sometimes!
I can't say I manage to keep on top of everything over there - I usually just head over when I need to read reviews of a lens or camera body (just broke my dslr body)... Sometimes I have fun playing in the post a pic threadsQuote:

She used to post here on TE - always with lots of pix. Haven't seen a post from her in a while....
There are some amazing photos there, thank you!
Her posts & blogs are always good.Quote:

Remember the thread where someone got worried about her and ended up calling her at her office to make sure she's okay? Now we can just check pentax forums.

Nope, I can't justify the price especially given what I do with my cameras (they do end up riding along in my kayak in a watertight box, but accidents happen). I'm picking up a lightly used k7 off the forum, it's still an improvement over my k20d. I was really tempted by the k-r other than the lack of water sealing.Quote:

I had the pleasure of meeting Pardes because she was the guest speaker at our annual bike club dinner in November. She is very active in bicycle advocacy, and is an officer (VP) for Bike Delaware. She also works full time, and has been completely car free for several years now, relying on a bike/bus/bike commuting scheme for getting to work and for shopping. (Living in a larger city that even has a bus system she can do that readily. Down here in lower, slower DE, we only have bus service in the summer. :() She did however accept a ride down to our dinner - it was a 200 mile round trip.Quote:

Enjoy your w90, I've got a w60 and sort of love it while hating it for not being a dslr :)Quote:

The big cameras only get to come out when the purpose is for pictures.
