How’s this blood-red camera from Pentax huh? I can’t quite say I like it or not…one second I think it’s hideous, the next minute I’m like, “hmm…that’s kind of sexy” I tell you what though, if you shoot with a blood red camera you better be sure you’re taking good shots.
This camera is supposed to compete with the entry-level DSLRs. My personal opinion is that any of you considering your first DSLR should avoid any camera that doesn’t say Nikon or Canon on it. I learned my lesson getting my first Olympus DSLR. These cameras are all about investing in a series of lenses that will last you years and years…only Nikon or Canon has that longevity.
Class at UH was fun the other night. Turns out it wasn’t as “basic” as I thought it would be. The instructor has given us homework to go out shooting in full manual mode changing nothing but aperture settings. That’s great because I don’t think I’ve ever used full-manual before. I’ll usually use Program, AP, or SP. Now being forced to actually use this camera as it was intended will be a nice change. (pic via Gizmodo)
