I see that some leaked pictures of this camera have surfaced. It looks pretty good actually.

That's a stunner!

When you post you will see a little landscape icon at the top. Click on that and it will allow you to upload photos directly from your computer. Just make sure they are not too large.

Ah, just to muddy the waters a bit, if you go with Pentax you will also have access to Chinon and Ricoh lenses.

It's a curious thing, but the Chinon really does remind me of the Canon T70. In the same way that the CE-4 reminds me of the Yashica FXD. All cameras seemed to look the same at the time.

STX1's are always cheap because you are unlikely to find any lenses for them. Fujica in general are solid, well built cameras. If you want to go that route look for something like the 605 that takes M42 lenses

That's true. Prior to digital I only had a manual camera and therefore only learned the basics, which is not in itself a bad thing of course. I have learnt a great deal more since I took up with digital though, with vastly more flexibility.

Sad, but true. I'm not sure I would recommend anyone start with film. Film is an indulgence you can practice later.

You are an excellent salesman for Ricoh Mr Fish. You're certainly taunting me with an unexpected bout of GAS. :p

I'm still using my Dell XPS I bought in 2011. Put a new SSD in, but that's it. And it gets used every day.

I think so too. Could do with toned back, just a little.

Ah, a party trick then. I can't help thinking that sounds like the solution to a problem that need not exist. It's the lazy persons answer to being organised. But then, that's progress.

There is something I can't find the answer to at all in that article, and that's why do it in the first place? What possible function can it serve?

I really am regressing back to the sort of music I used to listen to when I was at school. Real music!
