As I said test drive and by the time you have the K10D you will understand the workings and switches.

I already do, I think. I taught the function of 2 buttons on an EOS350D and FOV crop to a girl who has been the owner of one such model for well over a year... Technically, that makes me obsessed.

Nice one, Dan. I think you and Pentax will be very happy together.

It's always techno geeks like me who wish they had something they could actually use properly... and never get anything unless they work hard for it.
My father's boss is the kind of person who buys a top-of-the-line laptop to check his email at work (because that's all he ever does).

That's the way of the world, Dan. I was into music big time in the late 60's and onwards and I brought my first HiFi, £50, took me 6 months to save up. The one I really wanted was £120 but could not wait. Now I can go out for a evening meal and it will cost £50+ and not even think about.
You buy what you can afford and bosses have to show that their company is doing well by buying the lastest and best model.
I want a Nikon 80-400 VR lens £1000 but I will settle for a Sigma 170-500 for £350. Again I will save up before buying.
What I am trying to say is that it is always difficult and at a young age to unless you come from a privileged background. You know what you want but not got the finances till later in life. Dreaming is good.

You don't know this "boss". You'd most likely lose respect for him in about 2 days, if you knew what he was really up to. Using accountants from the firm to get some dirty deeds done, buying top-of-the-line Mercedes and Lexus cars with the company money, while the employees are stuck with some 10 year-old bangers.. I could go on for literally ages. That's all about to change, thankfully.
I'm not one of those fortunate youngsters to be driving BMWs that my daddy bought me, and I'm proud because of that. Those people will never really appreciate the value of hard-earned money.

Meet and worked for Bosses like that.
Myself, worked since 15 and always had a job of some sort but never anything shady or dishonest. Mother taught me well and how to set standards. Doing OK now and feel better for it.

I need a job too, but with my class schedule being so... weird, it's going to be hard to find one.

Thank you, Katya. First thing in the morning and at sunset it is beautiful. The rocks are sandstone and erode very easily, leaving many strange shapes, holes and colours. Mavellous.

You're welcome Sounds wonderful - wonder if there is any places like that here, we have mostly sandstone along the coast (and everywhere in general - at least I think it's sandstone) I love the honeycomb erosion they can get on the beach.

It is a magical place and perfect for photographers of all types. I did see someone with a large format camera on a tripod taking close-ups of the rocks. So visit your coast and get snapping.

I doubt that very much. It's the sort of place you go and then compare shots. Someone will have THE shot that nobody saw or even thought of.
