Is Pentax the absolute worst?

Of course I know that many people go into photography for different reasons. I know that. But if one took a poll, and God knows how many of these polls have been conducted, I bet you that the percent of people who do so because they want to take pictures of their growing children is rather large.

Once they start walking, it is very difficult to take a good picture of them, which is fine with me of course. They don't stay still, wouldn't look at you no matter how loud you scream their names, and can fall right off the ledge if you are too caught up in capturing the not so priceless moment.

They also represent the difficulty involved in indoor photography as well. Because they move, you wan to shoot them at a faster shutter speed. But, being inside, you may not be able to unless you have a very expensive lens on your camera. And this is where they get you, the lenses. Pentax certainly got me. The rule of thumb (in the ass) is that the more expensive the lens, the brighter the aperture (smaller f/ number). Suddenly the lens taken in more light than the cheap kit lenses and take sharp picture. The wife is impressed, and the dude justify yet another buy.


Is it really priceless though???


That is entirely another debate there.
