I understand your point totally. If I had either the money or the gumption
to be an early adopter of a new system (on a newly released camera body) it
would be less of a decision, as I would be gaining more benefit sooner.
I do find it a little sad that the Pentax top of the line will be
underspec'd compared to Canon's middle of the line.

For that small a difference, I certainly wouldn't adapt a second system. If
I switched, I would go all the way. But I don't think I could afford the
lenses I need in Canon mount. Certainly not lenses that would match my
Pentax glass in quality. I'm very pleased with the new D specs. I can''t
imagine why it wouldn't do everything I need.

It basically just gets down to that I've tired of waiting for Pentax.
The 5D is a larger sensor (albeit 12.8 vs. 10) and is FF, therefore likely
less noise at higher ISO. If I haven't purchased a 5D before the new
Pentax is released I'll walk into the store and do some hard (albeit
unscientifc comparisons), bring the memory cards home and look at the
results very closely.
I suspect the 5D buffer and throughput will still be faster/larger also.
No proof for that statement obviously.

Sounds like the new D will pretty much match the Canon 5D in specs. Why
would you want two incompatible systems?

I can see the *ist D and 40mm pancake becoming my point and shoot while
a Canon 5D and 2 - 3 lenses, becoming my main system.

All I can think is what the hell are they thinking, how many lenses at
or
around 50 and 70mm do we really need?
