I think Canon are discounting quite heavily. The Pentax is GBP20 cheaper than the D70, but nowhere near the Canon.

They have it and the 300d and D70 (and the Minolta which is humungous) on display alongside each other. Even though the Pentax is smaller, they say the reasons people don't go for it are partly the SD card but mostly the difference in price. The 300d is something like GBP200 cheaper.
