Hi again!
Thanks for all your thoughs and inputs.
And methaphors... I've never been a Mazda fan, but I've always been fond of Land Rovers. They are not fast, but different and durable. 70% of the Land Rovers ever produced are still on the road, and parts are easily available for even the oldest models.
The backwards compability is such a great benefit. This means that the lenses are not a short term investment, but a long one. I really like that. Secondly, I like metal better than plastic. Built to withstand the elements it seems like a Pentax camera is a better choice when going off the beaten track. Then the quality of the lenses... I've seen some of your magnificent photos, and I do not think any other brand can perform better.
So, dear Pentaxians, I'm convinced. As a start I've purchased a K200D with a DA 18-250 for travelling. The kit should arrive here by mail next week. In addition I've ordered two primes from a New York shop - the FA 31 and 77 limiteds. This deal saved me approx. 1500 dollars compared to buying these at home.
