Re-evaluating my Digital SLR

I have a Pentax K10D. It’s been a year since I bought it, and I love it — but I think its time to let it go and sell it. No, it’s not because the Pentax K20D is coming out! :)

Frankly I need a smaller camera with RAW, and the Canon Powershot G9 fits the bill. No, I am not going to buy it yet, but sometime in the future hopefully. What sealed it was reading Nick Devlin’s experience with it at Luminous Landscape. I came to the realization that what has stopped me more than once in lugging my equipment around is its size. I definitely want RAW, and no point and shoot up to now has that capability.

I feel that the important thing is taking photos, and lots of them at this stage in my photographic development, not super equipment.

The end of “once a day” blogging

Announcing: “once a week” blogging.

Once a day in retrospect was too ambitious: the posts that came out of it were wasteful, they did not contribute anything except for glorified advertisements for products mainly, I felt. My main goal was to improve my writing, but I wanted to do so as long as I could come up with “some” original thought at least, and not just re-hashing some news I came by from other blogs.

Hopefully my post for next week will be more fruitful in this regard! It is easier to develop this habit by making it easier for me to do, then hopefully increase the frequency when I have kept my writing discipline up.
