Yeah,

That 10D was humungous!  I know it's capable of taking wonderful photos, but 
I bet your back was sore lugging that thing around Toronto all day!  vbg

BTW, proper paying job?  Do they exist?

cheers,

I happened to call into Henrys today. The counter where I was standing also 
happened to have an istD on display. Well, I just had to have a feel.
That thing is gorgeous! It makes me wish I'd stuck to my original plan of 
selling the 10D once the istD came out and getting one. Sigh. That 10D is a 
humungous brick in comparison.
Only one thing I didn't much care for was the round arrow/keypad thingy on 
the back. That was a bit fiddly, but apart from that, I loved it!
Ho hum, I can but dream. Got to get a proper paying job first.

Now you know why a bunch of us are pretty enthusiastic about the
thing.
The cursor keypad is AWFUL though.
Pentax would do well to look at how Canon did it on the rebel
digital.
