Spending more time on...

I've finally gotten my birthday pressie.. late but it was a nice thing to get, a new camera because the old one just didn't do it for me and I didn't choose it to begin with..

I am waiting now on just trying to load up the battery, its been HOURS!! Once I get the memory card I can do those long films I have always wanted to do, with such things as condencing five hours into a few minutes.. ect. It has this extended menu and is way too much to believe but, it has some flaws such as, it was hard to find out just how much memory it has built into this bastard and, there was a strange warning about skin reactions to the actual camera itself which got me weirded out... I mean pentax was supposed to be a good brand, from since I was little.. from before I was little.

They call this brand the work horse of cameras, just as the fender is the work horse of guitars.. (and yeah I take note of who is playing what too)

This hard wearing camera has a waterproof, dust proof, shock proof feature.. as well as all that professional stuff that goes into those massive expensive system cameras.. its really compact and extremely light, which makes me worry about stablity with shots but then it has a high range of senstivity such as 64- 6400, that is not bad, and blows freaking stupid Sony bastards out of the water.

Sony since Marlyn Manson signed that developmental contract with you, I have always hated you manipulating monopolies of the explotive entertainment industry, I was forced to use your video cameras in school and your video tape products as well as your cassette tapes.. but finally, if it wasn't for my husbands VIO, I would be free... but no, you still shadow and haunt my every move.

I wonder if PENTAX would be making a computer any time soon, since the camera is already like a tiny computer anyway, you know with massive amounts of extended menues, calenders and clocks as well? This is crazy!

I wonder what I can do with my textures NOW?? Thank you for giving me hope to go outside with my camera and not worry about it anymore, as well as the interest in taking underwater pictures around Gotland, perhaps?.. too bad I didn't get it in gold, but gunmetal grey which seemed like a great choice UNTIL I saw that gold! That gold is really pretty.. I think gold would have been perfect, unless they decided to rename "gunmetal" to platinum, I would go with gold ;)

Perhaps I can give them a suggestion for the design next time? Name the colours after precious metals such as titanium, platinum, silver, copper and gold, and alloys such as pewter, electrum, bronze.. those kinds of things.. just because the colours available although pretty, were just too "toy like", red and blue, nice but not speaking of substance, even calling something "carbon steel blue" or "copper red" would have been better in my psychological impression too bad the colours were not THAT good.

Still, I hope the camera is as good as some of the impressions it has made:
