My B-I-L bought a 50D because it had more pixels than my K20D and shoots more fps. He was shooting at 3.6 megapixels for the same reason, more per card. So much for resolution. He doesn't let me touch the camera because I might change a setting and he won't know how to reset it. I only had it in my hands long enough to observe that Canon DSLR controls are horrible, quite unlike their better compacts.
They can afford to buy the K10, i'm not going to jack them on it but i would need to replace it at some point as it is my backup. If they weren't as frugal as they are I would push them for the K30 with 18-135. a perfect kit for India where you deal with dust, heavy rains, and festivals where people are throwing all sorts of crazy stuff at you
. I doubt they would spend the money, whereas i could sell them the 10 with grip 2 batteries and 18-55wr for about the price of the x-5
I agree on the canon DSLR controls. designed by engineers for engineers, where Pentax feels like it was designed by a photographer.
