Nulla,

I didn't have the chance to do extensive study about other brands. When I was a kid my dad was a professional photographer and he tried all the brands that were available in the 60's and ended up with Pentax for 35mm and Mamyia for his medium format (C333). I have only used Pentax even though I've looked at the other brands, once you put your hands on them the quality difference between Pentax and C, N are immidiate. Only once did I consider making a change to C but that was right before the K10 came out and I emailed Pentax asking what was up, they told me to wait and I'd be surprised, and I am soooo glad I waited.

Now I'm brainwashing my youngest son, he's using my *istD with the Tamron 28-200 and having a great time with it. My best friend is a dedicated N user, and no matter what I do he wont' change, he's even said my camera takes better pictures than his N. I guess it's a matter of what you set your heart on.
