Thanx for the info guys! As i keep reading review and blog over the net on the pentax lens and body, i keep finding things like " pentax is dying" or "pentax is dead"... Any thought on that? i know pentax doesn't have the same market place as the bigger Canon and Nikon... but does it mean it's dying?

Hi there! I currently own a Olympus E510 and i'm selling it and thinking about switching brand... i felt in love long time ago with pentax( was supposed to buy a K10D instead of my E510... but the price was too high).
I'm leaving Olympus because :
1) dynamic range trouble with the E510 ( maybe it's juste me...)
2) Zuiko are great lenses, but there's not many lenses that are buyable for human being ( the really cost a lot and are really hard to find...)
3) Image quality is good... but not as good as i'd like it to be...
Mainly the fact that the Olympus lenses are really hard and high priced make me leave this brand...
So i turn on other to see what they have to offer... Sure i checked Canon and Nikon, but i'm not a huge fan of them ( i like to be different... and not have the same thing as other) Then i check Pentax... and well fell in love again :P
Right now i'm looking at
Canon 40D/50D ( mainly a used 40D)
Nikon... well a friend have a D90 so... he want's me to buy one too...
And Pentax K20D or K7
i haven't took picture for a while now since i dislike taking picture with my Olympus... But i love wildlife and landscape photography... i'm not a pro , nor a beginner...
Does pentax make good lenses that don't cost a leg?
As price is an issu for the body... is it worth wating and saving to get a K7? what's the big difference between the K20D and K7... i love the two ( ok the K7 is a bit sexier...)
So please help me make a choice :)
Thx
