Re: Some old photos taken with a *istD

Barry,

Thanks for posting great photos from your Pentax *istD camera. Very sharp and only 6 mp when you think of all the mps now available.  I once read that the human eye is about 26 mps, but what a strange camera model designation name. When I first became a DPReview member I saw another photo posting using an *istD, curious, I asked the guy to post a photo of his camera because I wanted to see what an *istD looked like. I was expecting to see some weird camera creation to match the name *istD.

You must have over a ton of photos if they were all prints, and maybe you've had the same thought as me. Photos can be appreciated forever, so keep posting.  Recently I've had another curious thought. Being +80, what will happen to my photo files, online gallery or at home? I wondering how other older hobby posters using this forum are handling passing on their photo galleries. As far as I know, the only option for a DPReview gallery and Challenge entries is the Delete button, you can't even make a backup keepsake for someone. I guess my gallery will just stay put until there's no more DPReview. I suppose my wife will give my computer to one of the kids if they want it, but that's the most thought I seem to be able to give this question, and maybe that's best. Other than I have a few unique oldies which were never on-line and maybe should be in a local museum archive. What else?

Cheers,

Jack
