It comes down to a few things.
One, it has taken me many years of effort to put together one of the most complete lens kits a photographer could want, and I have no intention of doing it again.
Two, money, plain and simple. I couldn't replace my lens kit with another brand in an affordable fashion.
Three, I really do like Pentax lenses, and I like the K20, although I do feel it is rather lightly built.
That the other guys are more than somewhat ahead of Pentax in terms of technical sophistication doesn't cause me to lose any sleep, I would just like to be able to buy a 60-250mm lens when they originally said I'd be able to, not several years later.
