Amazed at times that a lot here get called fanboys, but by heck we have a lot here who bag Pentax openly.
actually, my point was that canon is actually a good system, and has been for a while, as opposed to windows which isn't, and has never been (simply inferior in most every respect). but i see your point too.
as to people "baging" pentax, it's what is called being objective over here (if you don't say "chose nikon or canon, it's a safer bet" you must be a pentax fanboy)
. seriously, some people here are very sane and will bring solid arguments for their choices and their advice, i for one appreciate that, this is not a hoya-pentax forum, this is an "open community" forum.

lol101: i slightly disagree on one point: shooting a zoom at a fixed setting is nothing like shooting a prime, few people can get the feel of shooting a prime from that. the problem is primes are not only about fixed focal length, there's so much more to it (especially in pentax-land, but not only). shooting my smc-a 135/2.8 and shooting the 50-135/2.8 at 135 has few similarities (and this is a good example, try to imagine it again, this time with the da 50-200 at 135
).
