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.

Damn, even with the scary price tag, that really is a thing of beauty. Meep. 14+ mmp...

Glad you're feeling better. Hopefully the cough is getting the message that it needs to scram. Are you taking any icky coughing syrup or leaving it to its own devices?

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

Whee, snow!

A brand new sensor, so no one quite knows yet just how good/bad it is, but pre-production tests seem to indicate it's better at high ISO than the predecessors.

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!
