The *ist DS was also my first DSLR having moved across from the ME Super. Traded it in for a K-5 then moved up through each of the K-3 variants!

hi geoff nice video! hope you recover from your surgery nicely. i loved listening to you talk and i was just thinking about this yesterday after i took a taxi ride. the driver addressed me by name and asked me about the air conditioning at the back but it took me by surprise and made me feel important! i realised how simple and effective it is and thought i'd want to try making more effort to address people by their name now

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Geoff, hope you upload more videos like this!

wow such a quality and amazing photos ❤️🤩, I undermined the camera is like the old model but photos are amazing

My firsy DSLR. Still got it though i have upgraded to a K3-iii now. Camera's like this and the newer K10-D are a great choice for those on a low budget and produce great results. Newer models like the K5, K3 and the K1 are good choices for those looking to upgrade but not willing to sell bodyparts to buy the latest mirrorless flagships. The added bonus is the vast array of manual, 35mm film era and modern HD digital lenses

Brilliant! I just got one from a friend who's moving. Now I need to figure out the film situation. Heh.

For a compact 35mm rangefinder, try the PAL M4.

What Kind of battery do I Need?

Where is this?

Lovely shots. Kangaroo Island is beautiful.

Surprised to hear a good familiar Aussie accent on the first click on the search for reviews of the C-150. Thanks for sharing!

Have you sold the camera yet?

For research purposes one can source the detailed catalogues published by manufacturers of cameras and accessories. The vintage photographs are superb!!

wow very big water OCEAN very dangerous my gosh okay from usa good job

In winter? So cold here in Sydney,NSW.

Just picked one of these up for £200 on Ebay to get started with photography and brief videography. Loved this slower paced honest review thank you!

Lovely to see you back and looking well Geoff. Good luck with the new project 🤞

I just bought a 700D on Trademe for $500 with an extra 50mm lens and bits and bobs. Can't wait to get it so I can practise photography.

We found we have 5 of these camcorders. Bought for the kids.

Hello. Ive just bought one off ebay.

Get well soon! Thanks for all the useful info in your vids, they've been great to watch.

I have the same camera but it's in Japanese. This video is very helpful thank you!

Get well soon!

Thank you Charrese. That is much appreciated. God bless. ❤

I will pray for you, Mr. Geoff. Speedy recovery! May God bless you abundantly. 🙏🏼

You saved me I was struggling how to use it 😭thank you💗💗

Get well soon Geoff!

Thanks for letting us know Geoff, best of luck to your health.

Enjoy your break Geoff, and hope you recover soon.

Drives me nut when you guys pronounce it Neeeeekon

Great video, stunning footage and images! Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪

Thank you for this message

Thanks Brian. I’ll know more tomorrow after I see my specialist.

Good luck with your knee Geoff 🤞

Didn't these have a plastic gear problem?

I just picked up the Nikon 1 J5 and When Zooming in the Aperture makes the screen darker. Depending what Camera Mode PASM its in by either using the two dials it will adjust brighter or darker. Cheers!

great pictures geoff!!

Love the review. I didn't even know they made those

I've got a 700D it's a great camera for snapping the kids or sunsets even street photography etc without having a million setting like on some of my Nikon D610 & D700 cameras... Cheers

Hey, thanks for the Video! I have the same from my grandfather, can you tell me which kind of film is needed for this camera?

a cheap small mirror behind the camera - for selfies (vid+pix) saves me several $$ dollars on pivoting screen !

It's a darling , I have one since 1987...

I have the same camera and also a XL2. Nice video.

so sad to hear your button fell off, glad it can still work!

The only 35 format SLR that Pentax advertised as being pro was LX, even though it was not reliable enough and lacks AE-L and spot metering. MZ-S was advertised as semi-pro. The MZ-S plastic back door looks more fragile then SF1 and Z1 have, and the separate plastic battery grip for MZ-S - not compatible with other cameras from the MZ line, is made in China with even more fragile battery door, wey too tight space for the batteries, and has melting rubber pads on top in contact with the camera, that transform in to black goo. The rest are advertised only as advanced or entuziast models, including K2, DMD, KX motor, KX, MX, ME-Super, ME-F, SuperA, P5/50, SF1/X, SF1n/Xn, Z1, Z1p, Z5, MZ3, MZ6, and DSLRs also - about *istD Pentax even noted that is made for office use...Later ones are faster and some are much more weather resistant, but again not pro yet. SF10/7 has a big spot when using AE-L so weirdly is better then SF1/X/SF1n/Xn. Z20 altrough is much more reliable then Z1p, unfortunately lacks AE-L like Z10. The back button on Z20 is just for starting normal exp. comp. MZ-6 was more advanced, it has 1/4000s as MZ3 ( X sync and max true speed without the moving slit artifice is only up to 1/125s), it has HSS sync up to 1/4000s as MZ-S, but it has the worst Pentax viewfinder with only 0.70X @ 92% magnification like a eos 30, and that when even MZ-S 0.75X@ 92% is pretty crapy and with limited eye relief - with the Pentax viewfinder loupe and glasses is hard to see all the frame. K1 old and II has again stupid 0.70X @ 100% as F4. Maybe K1 III will have a decent viewfinder...

As luck would have it, this was my first camera. Given to me by my Grandfather. I lost it at my school leaving party.

Buen video! gracias!
