You would be surprized, but in Romania Pentax have the best support, period. (that means a store which actually have cameras and lenses and a service centre). They have the *istD on stock, and the *istDS is expected to arrive shortly. In fact, when I was looking for a SLR I gived up Canon/Nikon/Minolta when I couldn't find their "official" stores. However, independent stores mostly have Canon and Nikon.
