| If Pentax doesn't offer an entry level DSLR to compare with the D60 and the Rebels they are in trouble. I was in playing with the D60 vs a K200d and I was impressed with the Nikon. Now I am familiar with Nikon ergos so I didn't have an adjustment period to use the camera.
The D60 feels pretty nice and has a surprising degree of functionality and programability. It also has flaws, no non AF-s lenses, no in body SR etc. but it was far more responsive than the K200 and felt every bit as well built. After playing with the Nikon the Pentax felt blocky and slow in comparison. Id I were buying now it would be a tougher decision. If Nikon ever releases a VR AF-s normal prime the D60 would be an amazing travel cam.
The Canon felt like a toy, but was still pretty reasonable. |
