Nikon 18-55 AF-S VR - 265 grams
Nikon 55-200 AF-S VR - 335 grams
Pentax K-m - 590 grams (battery + sd card)
Nikon D60 - 522 grams (battery)
Pentax kit overall weight -
1025 grams
Nikon kit overall weight -
1122 grams
And the Pentax is a far better specced camera, and can actually use the whole Pentax lens range, unlike the Nikon.
I fail to see why the K-m is such a bad camera. It's actually quite a good entry-level model, if they price it right and actually
market the damn thing, they might do well.
