My camera is a Pentax K10D. It was a progression from an istd which was a step up from my Ricoh film cameras. As I had K mount lenses I stuck with a camera which used them . I was also swayed by my wife's old Pentax compact zoom camera which took very good pictures .
I went against all of the camera magazines in buying a Cannon or Nikon as I wanted to be different, plus it seemed like the magazine's were sponsored by them . It does have difficulty in focussing in low light at times but it can't half take a lot of photos if you keep your fingers pressed on the button . The battery charge also stays for a long time .

Having ridden a turbo for a while one winter, they're trying to do you a favour!
Honestly, I've never had twenty minutes last for about a billion years before...

I got one and couldn't wait for it to arrive.
It came
I unpacked it
I set it up
I put the bike on it.
I got on it and pedalled.

I got off it.
I put the bike away.
I packed it back in the box
I sold it on eBay, same day.

Instant dislike.

I've got one, used it a bit. Generally I run videos of rides & listen to podcasts. It's just a pain putting the bike on it & taking it off. I think I need a bike to put on it permanantly.

Still and grey here, and definitely milder than yesterday.

Power still on in the garage & utility room I rejigged the fridge in the utility room and brought in the ingredients I need for tonight's supper.

It is almost time for luncheon.

I didn't get involved in APS, either, although many D-SLRS have APS-C sized sensors.

All of the earlier ones did - mainly to keep the prices down. It was only the studio range (well, for Canon at any rate) that had a full-sized sensor, and they were stupid expensive and well beyond the means of most.

My 10D has the APS-C sensor, which effectively gives you a 1.6 x crop, whereas my 1Dmk2 has a 1.3 sensor, so slightly larger. Both cameras are somewhat long-in-the-tooth these days, but still take amazing pics. The latter will get 8 fps when you hold the shutter release down.

Wave due south, and that'll just about do it

Our local weatherman peep said that the temperatures could have dropped to as low as -5 C in our region .
Looking at the solid water outside ours might have been close .

It was minus 6 here. I have experienced minus 20 (in Winnipeg in March).

Just back from the vets, the dogs have been weighed , had preventative vaccinations against worms and one had treatment for an eye parasite. Spent a bit of time chatting to the vet and then shelled out just over €100 at reception. Ho hum ,dogs eh? Mind you we also have four horses ,now we are talking big money for vets' bills. In comparison human ailments are dirt cheap to deal with.
