I shot Nikon in the film days, the FM was small, took a huge variety of lenses and metered to within 1/5 of a stop. Once the bloated DSLR's came on the the scene I was pretty turned off by both the bloated size and performance of anything affordable. I was actually looking at a FF Canon MarkII or Nikon D700, but then I found the K5 online, since there were none in any store. It is small, well built, takes a huge variety of lenses and meters very accurately and has a stupendous sensor, 100% viewfinder, etc.; what else could you want?! That said, I have yet to see someone else with a Pentax, or one in a store. For that matter, I am seeing true camera stores all but gone, replaced by big box stores with generally poorly trained sales people advising poorly informed consumers. I have seen reviews of C/N who like the large lenses because they feel it makes them look professional, so with a mentality like that....
