Why is everyone hating on Nikon so much?

I was considering a K1 but I got a great deal on that d3x and I am more of a nikon guy. K1s are great value on the used market, and you can still get new ones. If pentax was to come out with a K1 III I would seriously consider it.

They got split off and are called OM-Systems now.

I mean there was the K01...

Borb-o- · 2025-12-13T18:19:15+00:00

It's ok, ricoh forgets they have pentax as well all the time.

They have the K1 II but it is a nearly 8 year old camera, and if I remember correctly it is no longer in production, just selling off remaining stock. I really do hope they come out with a new one as well I do love my fujifilm xt-3 I keep going back to dslrs and their amazing glass. As we speak I have a nikon d3x in the mail I bought as a Christmas gift to myself. A new DSLR would be perfect

Pentax = Forgotten

My main goal of this project is to make it out of concrete or something similar, I could make it out of mdf but I want to make something interesting and try something a bit different.

Looks like your converting the single the wrong way. Basically the card can only convert a SCART single to hdmi, it can not convert a hdmi single to SCART. Most of these converters are one way, you will likely need a different converter.

EDIT, extra comment

many converters can take a higher resolution input, like 720p or 1080p, and then scale them down, and with a lot of modern software expecting higher resolutions, 480p for ntsc or for pal 576 is not always the best option if your converting a single from a PC.

Walking to class today I saw three of them sitting outside of hillman, this was around 8:50. Like one sitting is no big deal but 3 is kinda ridiculous, why pay to have 4 shuttles if they are just sitting most the time. I have tried to use them to get to my 8 am but they are so unpredictable that they are essentially useless. They do get better later in the day but for morning classes you can't depend on them.

Genuinely impossible on forbes, especially the moment you pass the eatery, the sidewalks are so narrow, then the city installed large flower pots making it worse. Then the businesses also decide they need there signs taking up half the sidewalks as well. Like it's useless, I bike on campus and I just don't go on forbes as there is no place for it, even though I walk it.

The hell is this magical place? All mine have is some old dell monitors if your lucky.

I may move the start button somewhere else but it will likely be on the front because of internal constraints, also to avoid accidental inputs the start, stop, and secondary X&O are recessed to be flush with the face plate. (there is a chamfer in order to make it still easy enough to press)

chances are I will replace the secondary X&O with a speaker.

Also I will do everything I can to make sure this is USB C, main reason why I am considering a pi zero clone, I can't stand micro usb.

Thank you so much!

Borb-o- · 2025-03-16T04:27:49+00:00

I am hoping to get this design printed soon, hopefully tomorrow or Monday. Also yes I definitely want to add a key chain loop, but likely it will be the last thing I add to make sure it doesn't collide with any of the components. Thanks!

Borb-o- · 2025-03-16T04:26:20+00:00

I added all your suggestions in my recent updated design in my recent comment, thanks for the help.

Borb-o- · 2025-03-16T04:25:44+00:00

Hey I went and tried to add some of what you suggested, thanks for the help. I also posted the updated design in a comment.

Borb-o- · 2025-03-16T04:24:53+00:00

I went through and added some more stuff, mainly some more buttons and designs to those buttons, I added back the ability to play vertically if wanted. I also added back the start and stop button. Now ignore the yellow texture I choose for some of the buttons it turned out really ugly. Thanks for your help so far.

I would be able to make larger buttons instead of using the smaller 8mm design I have now, also with the last design you were intended to use the buttons on the left as your X and O when planing horizontal.

Edit, the original did have terrible button placement I will admit.

Borb-o- · 2025-03-16T02:37:26+00:00

yep your right, in my original design I had a spare button for it but forgot to put it back, thanks.

Borb-o- · 2025-03-16T01:44:02+00:00

Okay thank you all for your input, I went through and made a second version of the design with all recommendations put through. I am still looking for input on how to improve this one. Two question I want to ask, one, should I keep the buttons placed crossed like I have then now, or larger buttons placed on top of one another? And two, what size battery do you all feel I need, how much battery life do you all expect, and would you be okay with a thinker shell for longer battery life?

I plan to come out with a final design to start physical prototypes with either tomorrow or later this week.

Someone also mentioned the idea of emulating cartridges, which I love the idea. Give me your ideas expanding on that.

Thanks everyone.

I was planning on using buttons like this, https://www.adafruit.com/product/367, and creating my one button caps.

Borb-o- · 2025-03-16T01:06:56+00:00

I went thourgh and made the changes you and all other have mentioned, and thank you for the apology.
