Welcome to the Canon side! The basics stay the same but let us know if we can help you find your bearings.

I still have my Pentax Asahi SP1000 with its bayonet mount and lenses. That camera, I would take to war, to be used as a weapon, not a camera, lol.

Not sure what lenses you have for Pentax, but bear in mind that you can save one of them and use it to reverse-mount in front of a Canon lens for extreme macro work :-)

Now I know what my problem is! I just need a new piece of glass! That one obviously only captures images that score over 7.0. |

*Just some musings*
All I can say is...my first SLR ever was a Pentax K1000.
Then I got s Samsung Digimax 2.01mp.
Then I got a Canon Powershot D700, 6.1 mp (and it took my 2 highest-ever scoring dpc pics, to date).
Then I got a Nikon D40, my first ever DSLR, and it's doing well, we're still getting to know each other...
...but I often wonder what shots that Pentax K1000 would give me now if it were a DSLR?
*musings over, you may now resume your regularly scheduled dpc madness* |

meh... you'll come crawling back when you get sick of all those Canon issues;
noise
error-99
feezing
mirror lock-ups
grips falling off
poor customer service, etc etc, the list goes on...
So sure, go ahead, enjoy! ;P

I had to move on to canon because of pentax issues. K100 Pentaxians here wont admit, but it had severe low light focusing issues. And if u google it you'll see that the issues are real. Nothing worse than waiting for lock focus and have people asking u to hurry u'r ass up n take the shot.
Also! the roadmap for the lens roll out was full of potholes (like my country :) I've been looking for this so called 60-250 f4 forever among other pentax lens. The rebel xt maybe bottom of the pile, but it locks on focus most of the time. And the USM is sweEEEet.
I still use the pentax and will never sell it. I need the infrared aspect as well. I also prefer to be in more than one camps. |
