Tell me who said the *ist-D wouldn't give good image quality? I expect it will be in the same league as the 10D and D100. I switched because: - the 10D was available 3 months ago. (I think it's already paid for itself. The Pentax selloff paid for everything else.) - I can upgrade to a 1DS. - Canon has a more appealing line of pro lenses wrt focal length, USM and IS. - Canon has an interesting flash system (TTL IR trigger) - Software support for Canon raw files is widespread. At this point it's 0 for Pentax. tv
