Yeah, but now I know more (or am more aware of what's out there).
My 1st car, as a 17 year old was a 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix w/a 389 and
4-barrel carb. My first SLR was sort of like my first car. I didn't do a
heck of a lot of research on either.
I bought a PZ-1p because I wanted predictive AF and matrix-metering and I
was at that critical point where I chose between Pentax or Nikon. I went
with Pentax mainly because 1) I had 4 manual focus lenses and 2) I couldn't
afford the Nikon flash that was needed for the 8008S.
I bought the *istD because I wanted to get into digital and because of the
existing lenses I had, not because I thought it was a better camera than the
other brands or that it offered more than than the competitors.
I'm not sorry I did, I'm just going to start looking forward instead of
backwards.

IMO, sure to be disputed, I believe Pentax abandoned us long ago, by not
staying competitive in the eyes of the marketplace,
That would be about 30 years ago Tom.
It didn't stop you from buying their cameras though.
