New Toy

Well, I finally got my new toy thru. I have been waiting for a while to be able to get a new Digital SLR camera. All that i can say now is WOW!!. I am very impressed by the performance of the new Pentax.

I received the new *ist DL and can only say that it is quite simply an awesome camera. I have been snapping pics everywhere and cannot fault it in any way. I even attempted to do a 'BULB' exposure at night and was more than impressed. Eventually i will stop playing around and take some serious photos which i will post somewhere on the web.

My first opion of the camera was quite simply just WOW. even the box was extremely well packed and the feeling of opening the box was quite impressive. They have designed the packaging so that basically every part of the camera can be taken out without having to remove every other part first.

Upon first start up you are asked to simply set the time and the time zone. This is easily achieved with the 4 way navigation button on the back of the unit. The screen is extremely clear and easy to read as well as VERY large. The 2.5 inch screen makes it very clear what mode you are in and the preview screen shows an extremely high definition image.

Well enough ramblings at this point. I need to go play with this new toy and learn the best way to use it.
