On the left is a Canon EOS-D30 (with grip) and the 28-135IS lens (not sure on max apertures). On the right is the *ist D with the 16-45/4 lens (the largest one that I own).
The Canon stuff is probably great, and there is no doubt that the selection of lenses is wider, but that is just too big.
I did switch to Canon. And that is precisely the reason I bought an istD in April.
You don't cart around a 10D for fun (well, I don't anyway!)
