YES!! i finally got it...my first DSLR.
I was hesitating outside SLR Revolution for the longest time... anyway...i finally decided "jumped" into the DSLR trap
I asked the salesman how much was the AA batteries adaptor and was quoted $70 ...think was abit on the high side. Then he suggested to me to get the spare 3rd party batt instead, said can last longer than AA batts so i bought it. (paid $22 for it), is the 3rd party batt any good? it was rated 6000mAh (a huge difference from that of the original batt, which was abt 1050mAh?)
Do any of you guys get UV filter for your lens? i used to have one for my prosumer camera, as it was a fixed lens, so i just need to get one but now that i am using DSLR, does it mean that i have to get a UV filter for every lens or have to go thru the trouble of switching the UV filter onto every lens i use?
Not wanting to miss out on any new features in updated firmware, i went online to Pentax jp site and saw that there's an firmware update (1.01), mine is 1.0...tried to download and was prompted with error...after many tries, i went to the english site, and could not find any update for the K-r...what am i missing here? Are firmware updates region-specific? Sorry for all the noob questions. Thx in advance for any help.
