Michael Fisher - unemployed law clerk for Sedey Harper.
Still waiting for that bus. It’s late - but, then again, it is a bus!
Things couldn’t have gone better today. Virtually hired on the spot. I say virtually because they took an hour or so to call my old professor, call me with some extra questions, and *gasp* apparently they did some actual work before getting back to me.
I start Monday.
Congrats to papa bear for the new camera, though I will say that for his purposes I think the H1 might be more than he needs. But, hey, with prices down where they are, why not? When I first read the comment, I was worried that he’d dropped way too much money, but then I realized he was talking about the H1, NOT the R1 (a new new Sony camera selling for about a grand right now.) For those who are interested, my favorite digicam website dpreview.com rates the H1 as highly recommended.
More notes on my new camera: it’s a Pentax DSLR, though I’m not sure what body it is yet (Vegas has odds set at 8-3 for the *ist DL, 2-1 for the *ist DL2, 25-1 the new K110D, and 50-1 the new K100D). There’s a lens included, and an external flash, and a gear bag filled with goodies (hopefully including a big data card.) The cool thing about Pentax is their DSLRs use AA batteries rather than proprietary battery packs. They also use SD format data cards, which my computer’s card reader theoretically will read. If not, all the Pentax bodies use USB 2.0, so data transfer won’t be too slow either way.
I only really fear that having a DSLR will set me on the road to addiction. Folks in the forums frequently refer to their LBA: lens buying addiction. All I really want is a decent wide angle prime, and a portrait prime, and a medium tele prime, and a telephoto prime, and a zoom walkaround lens, and…
