Christmas is not far away, and countless children are glued to their family's TV sets, watching reports about Santa Claus (John Call). However, this is happening on Mars, and leaders of the Red Planet aren't sure what to do for their kids who are pining away for a visit from the gift-bearing earthling. Martian leader Kimar (Leonard Hicks) dispatches two of his emissaries, the chronically grumpy Voldar (Vincent Beck) and the moronically cheerful Dropo (Bill McCutcheon), to Earth to bring Santa back for a visit. After arriving on Earth, Voldar and Dropo abduct two children, Betty (Donna Conforti) and Billy (Victor Stiles), and order the kids to show them the way to Santa's workshop, from which all three are taken to Mars against their will. As Santa, Betty, and Billy try to find a way back to Earth, Voldar becomes enraged with the Earth kids, while the children bond more comfortably with the intellectually-challenged Dropo. Shot on a shoestring budget on Long Island, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians has developed a rabid cult following over the years, and yes, it's true, Kimar's daughter Girmar really is played by a ten-year-old Pia Zadora./tdtd class="quote_right"#8221;/td/tr/table

Just having a moan really.
I used to use a Pentax ME Super and I remember my dad spending an extra £15 to get me a Pentax camera case for it. One of those ones that the lens cover unclipped and unfolded and hung underneath the camera. Now that I have a Pentax K10D I can't find a case for it unless I get one that I have to take the camera out of in order to take a picture. Very annoying.
Also, while I am having a moan, while I like the camera and am impressed with the pictures it produces, why is it so big? Any why so complicated? The sensor size is smaller than a 35mm negative, so shouldn't the camera be smaller? My Dad's compact Panasonic takes pictures that compare well with mine, and it's much smaller.
I happily used my ME Super either in aperture priority or manually and focussed it myself without any confusion. I mostly use the "P" mode with the K10D because I'm still not at the stage that I can change settings without thinking.
Still like the camera, just wish it had the controls, size and case of my old Super. I'd even put up with focusing the lens myself...
