I prefer VR and IS over Shake Reduction, SR.
I can see image stabilize in the viewfinder with VR and IS lenses which I cannot do with Pentax. But I cannot stabilize every lens I own like I can with Pentax. Plus when she flies without me for work the Pentax gears travel with her.
My wife was my Little Pentaxian and then she re~gifted the K20D I bought for her, back to me. So I'm keeping Pentax in my kit thesedays but I have been approved to cash~out of K-Mount when I want to. She opted to take over my D700 and one of my 5D classics is hers to use too. So at somepoint when D700 drop solidly below $2,000 I'll probably buy another D700 and call it "Mine". I'll fund the D700 #2 with the sales of the last of my Pentax goodies.
My "Roadmap"
No hurries. Full Frame K Mount Dslr is right around the corner I am always reading, just next couple months away right now, by mid January 2010 right?
