My D70 served me well (and I love Nikkor micro lenses), but when a hot pixel reared its head, it was time for a change. I usually tend to go for things that are "different" so while I am a Nikon fan I decided to look elsewhere. I recently picked up a Leica D-Lux 3 and have been having a blast shooting raw 16x9 native in a p&s. But I need a killer macro setup, and wanted weather resistance. So after going crazy reading everything I could I narrowed it down to an e510 or K10d. A quick trip to the local shop put that quandry to rest quite quickly. All you need to do is look into the viewfinder
At any rate, got the K10d, kit 18-55 and also picked up the 50-200 although the jury is still out on that one. I also got the 16-50* but took it back - unimpressed. Now I'm trying to figure out which macro to get, and whether I get the 50/1.4 now or maybe one of the pancake primes for indoors, etc.
At any rate, I've already shot a couple hundred photos figuring everything out. Impressive camera. Now just need to find the glass to match it.
