Sorry I haven't chimed in, I've been quite busy.
Still quite busy, so hopefully I can post thoughts down tomorrow.

I know holding bodies is one of the best things that can be done when deciding to purchase a DLSR, and I know finding Pentax's in stores is super hard. However, take my word on it, that Pentax's bodies are one of their strongest points. That goes double for the K10D & K20D, I don't know so much on the K*** series.

Pentax's "faults" lie in focusing speed and continuous frames, however neither of these have hindered me in anyway. Then again, I'm not shooting events where those features would matter, such as sports.

When it comes down to it I wouldn't buy anything lower then the D80/ D90 on Nikon's side nor 30D/ 40D on Canon's side. I feel that Pentax/ Oly/ Samgsung/ Sony etc, have better offerings in that price range and also even into the higher priced teirs as well.

There is a quick view on my thoughts,
Bob
