I assume you just love compact gear... or you dont practice what you preach.

I have 2 cameras (happy with both) and have all lenses I wisely purchased... never sold one and have no plan to.

I dont see myself as a compact user.

Cheers

@Alfisti -- you oversimplify and don't mention clear advantages such as SR. In this thread, Steve from gives more good reasons to prefer Pentax:

I think it's all up to you. It's your money afterall.

K-x hit the sweet spot in pricing for me. Not sure about the Lenses. That's where they get you [on LBA]. All the puters I bought in the past are all $500ish.

I don't get why people publicly announce their ignorance.

Wasn't that why the web was created?
