Originally posted by Gunsotsu For me, coming from an *ist DL, the K10D seems like the logical upgrade.

Go with the good glass. No matter where Pentax goes with their bodies, you'll always have your good glass.
I'm wondering how soon Pentax is going to discontinue the K10--I hope not too soon. Up until today, I was thinking that my next major gear purchase would be the 21 Ltd. I know that there will be used K10s out there for a while to come, but I'm wondering if I should go ahead and get the k10 and then the 21 later. I've got a DS that I figure I could get $200-250 out of, plus $100 in rebate money coming from Pentax, so I could have potentially $300-350 towards the K10 without too much problem. To pick up a gently used K10, I might need to come up with $150-200 more, which isn't that big of a deal.
One reason to go stick with my plan to get the glass is that right now, I don't have anything wider than a 28 and would like something wider to work with.
Decisions, decisions...
