Most of my lenses are FA so there's no compatibility issue. From what I can see, IS lenses are too expensive for what I do, so having those available is no really an advantage. Assuming that the Ist*D is comparable to the 10D, I can't see any good reason to switch. I do have my suspicions about the AF quality of Pentax, but I suspect that all AF technology will move to the point where brand will make little difference.
BTW, I'm not writing off Nikon quite yet, but I am surprised at how they are letting Canon dominate this really important pro market segment. There's this new Canon print ad where Andre Agassi is holding up a trophy so that all the PJ's can take his picture. The shot is from the top, and everyone is using "those white lenses". Pentax might be looking on wistfully, but Nikon must be cringing.
