So changing from a Holga to a Pentax isn't going to improve anything? How about from a Petri to a Canon?
Changing brands my not improve YOUR images.
I changed from Nikon to Pentax, and definitely changed the outcome of my images.
At the moment, Pentax has a decent midrange camera body with the K20. Midrange is not the same as top end, however.
If a person makes a decision that their photography needs a higher specified body, they haven't got much choice but to change brands.
My friend is a bird enthusiast. It isn't all he does, but it is an important part of his photography. He gets far more in focus shots with his Nikon than he got with his Pentax, simply due to the performance limitations imposed by the consumer level performance that Pentax is confined to because they don't have a competitive body in the high performance market.
It's really too bad, as their lenses are certainly up to the task.
