PhotoPoint has got the Pentax K20D in stock. Damn them! It's soooooo very tempting... a good thing, probably, that the 15,000 kr / 1000 € for the body is a little bit less tempting. *hopes either for a price reduction in the not too far future or for the temptation to pass*
Still, 'tis a thing of beauty... *sighs and tries to remember she still "needs" a macro lens and possibly the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens and possibly an external flash before even thinking about a new body*
Back at work since yesterday. Still coughing, but it seems to be mostly limited to the evening - had just one bad coughing fit at work, right before leaving. Feeling remarkably fine otherwise, I think the rest did me good. Besides, we finally have some snow again - snow and daylight! It was still light when I got home yesterday, around 6 pm. Wonderful. And at -1°C (and with practically no wind) it was really pleasant.

Also, ~points up~ what Dicky said (minus the Matron bit; I'll let her have that :P).
Whee, snow!

Date: 4 March 2008 09:27 (UTC)The weather-proofing is really what tempts me the most. True, the new K200D is also weather-proof (the only entry-level DSLR to have that) but if I was already to consider a new body, the K100D -> K200D jump would be a bit too insignificant. I'd prefer to go a step higher in that case. *sighs*

I took some ACC granules (the sort you mix into water or juice) the other day but have mostly been leaving it alone now. It doesn't seem to be too dry. I expect it will pass eventually.
Snow is very pretty. And we're getting more of it, yay!
