So I went to KLPF again for the second time, this time I was with the Jasonmumbles. We went really, really early when the crowd has not started to build up, so we can have our hands on some very popular cameras.

Just some more photographs and coverage of cameras that I have missed out on the previous visit..
Jason trying that much raved about D600. Though it is a full frame camera but the body does not have that solid reassuring feel, and the handling is not as good as expected. Placement of buttons and shortcuts are odd, a little all around the places, but as the salesperson highlighted actually once we are used to the camera it should not be a problem, which is true.
Chimping and pixel-peeing on the backscreen of D600, it seems even at ISO6400, the image comes out clean of noise, and surely this was expected from a full frame quality. I just do not understand why Nikon would want to dwarf down the camera with limitations of functionality such as 1/4000sec shutter speed limit and slower flash sync speed. Even their D7000 has highest shutter speed of 1/8000sec, which does not make sense at all. Nevertheless, this camera will be Nikons greatest success this year, and surely the sales would go off the charts. This is the cheapest offering of the full frame body so far, and most people would not care about anything else, and just wanted desperately to join that "full frame" club. Thankfully I have not been infected with that disease. I am perfectly happy with my "small sensor" system.
Pentax K5 and Pentax K5 mk2. They both look so identical !! The K5 mk2 was absent when I visited Pentax booth yesterday because some one took it away for test drive.
I have very high respect for Pentax K-series, especially their K-5, and now the K-5 Mk2. Great camera, with very good handling, weather sealing, as well as great image quality. If I were to shy away from Olympus for whatever reasons, Pentax is in my strong consideration. However that ever increasing price of their lenses (the last I heard there was a jump up to 50% price.... WTF !!!) was not an encouraging news, if I were to start a new system. Having tried the Pentax K-5 Mk2 briefly.... the shutter sound was.... weird..... but I liked it !
Hey Kirk Tuck, are you reaaaaaally gonna get one? Sony NEX VG900, full frame video dedicated beast. It was behind show-glass, we were not allowed to touch or try the camera. That thing looks HUGE !!!
Alright, I did promise to shoot some girls, right? There were plenty more, but I figured, why fight with so many other photographers over the same subjects? It was getting redundant and a little.... pointless. A friend actually questioned me why I was not that interested in taking photographs of girls so ever readily available for shoot at the photography show.... and I answered him: "To be honest Id rather shoot random kids and old people and any strangers I can find on the street". He gave me the strangest look I have ever seen, as if I was from another planet or something.
I did not stay long this time, and as expected, I returned home empty handed. The good news? At least I do not have to resort to eating grass for the rest of the month. Wallet is safe, and yes I know, as a gear reviewer, I have a very strong resistance toward gear upgrades. Strange, but true.
