Peter is probably right. It was in my case. I needed a body to shoot one gymnastics meet. The K-x was $500 - the D700 + 24-70/2.8 was WAY more. It couldn't be justified. For Tanya, the question becomes what is her normal shooting? If this type of thing becomes the bread and butter, then yes, she should dump her Pentax stuff and switch to the Nikon D700 + stuff. If it is only some of the time, the K-x might be good enough. Certainly it would make sense to buy/borrow a K-x and try a shoot before making a final decision - there is such a huge difference in cost. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
