Uh... um...
On my way to work today, my, um, foot seems to have slipped. So I quite accidentally landed in the camera store which is right beside us. And, uh... somehow I was given the Pentax K20D to play with, and it turned out to be not nearly as much larger and heavier than the K100D as I'd feared, and... um. Do I need to tell the rest? ;-)
Thing is that mum told me this morning that she'd even be willing to buy my K100D from me. So it appears that she really is serious about wanting a DSLR. Which sort of would have meant that I'd have been left quite DSLR-less. And there really didn't seem to be any point (apart from the price) to buy another K100D, or its successor K200D, or K10D (the predecessor to K20D) for that matter, so I decided to go for the biggest and bestest that Pentax has got.
Also, as an excuse, while I got another tooth fixed this morning (nothing awful this time, although I suspect there may be tenderness once the anaesthetics wear off as there was quite a bit of blood around), I also got told that next time (in two weeks, eek) I'll get the one quite irreparable molar pulled out. So I'll need comforting. Lots and lots of comforting. I am thinking a new shiny camera will help. Can't hurt at least.
Right. Should start working now, I suspect, as all that money I've just spent will need to be regained.

I'd really like to have such a camera as well,
but I'm fidgeting with my little kodak v1003 instead.
it's not a bad camera, but still.. nothing like that pentax *shiny eyes*

The world of DSLRs is a bottomless pit though as far as spending money goes. *sighs* I've got two bodies now and six lenses, and I keep thinking of new lenses I "need". And I still would like an external flash. *sighs some more*
