Well, it would be nice to have a name that's pronouncable so you can

Try "Pentax" or "Canon". Only the geekies will demand a model name. ;-)
I agree with Godfrey (meaning, I suppose, we've had similar
conversations with people.) Most people want to know what brand and is
it digital? So my usual reply is "it's a Pentax DSLR." This takes care
of about half the inquiries. Others require more details -- how much of
a zoom does it have? To which I then explain that THIS lens on here
right now is ...
Oh, but I digress. I tell 'em Pentax DSLR. If I told them "ist-dee"
they'd still say "what's that" since everybody else they see with a DSLR
has a Canon, which is twice the size.
