say fromage

I bought a new camera.
No, it's not a D50. That will come later, when I manage to squirrel away the money. Because, well, it's a little bit expensive. So for the artsy stuff, I will continue to curse and swear at the Fuji and its .5 second delay and its shitty autofocus.
I got a Pentax WP. It's little, it's light. It's waterproof, and will live in my jersey or camelbak or pocket for biking, hiking, snowshoeing, etc. I realize there is general horror and dissent among the masses, but I figured for my lifestyle I'd get more use out of a bombproof PhD camera (Push here Dummy) than out of upgrading my current artsyfartsy camera. So, for now I will forego that bee-you-ti-ful D50, and when I have spare money to burn, after I buy the next bike (mmm, Cannondale Scalpel... no stop! You're the dirty one! No, you are! Yes, you! OK, we'll go get dirty together... muddy and dirty and bruised and beaten! Yes sir!).
Woot! Back to the 514 tomorrow. *relief*

Which WP did you get? From what I read in consumer reports, the pentax isn't a bad camera, at least for pointy shooty.

Scalpel. I'm uncomfortable riding a bike with such a name.
