I would recommend a SLR or a DSLR.
Pentax is very high quality, even though not always on par with the
competition, spec wise.
In general Pentax does deliver very good value for money.
I have seen people, I know buy Pentax DSLR equipment, inspired (among other
things) by my photographs.
If I can
Always do and always will, if Pentax continue to make such good quality
cameras and lenses for the price.
And having just played with Ryan's 20D with a 70-200/2.8 lens, I'd have to
recommend a body-building course for anyone who decided to go down that
path!

I recommend Pentax to people quite often. Even to professionals whose
work, like mine, doesn't necessarily require the fastest, biggest
camera on the block. The lenses are excellent, the prices are
reasonable, the viewfinder is very very good, and the camera is

Having used a Canon Rebel and a Nikon D70, and played with an istD for a
day or so, making the choice to go with a DS was a no brainer for me.
While a D would have been nice for a few of the features, those features

Hi!
I'd recommend a Pentax in a heartbeat - in fact, I have on several
occasions. It's a good, solid camera to start with, and the range of
lenses available run from the downright cheap to very expensive, from old
