Is this the first DSLR that you ever used properly? This is the first DSLR I have actually handled. I looked through the viewfinder of a tripod mounted Canon D60 at a friends wedding a while back, but didn't touch the thing. In fact, this is the first modern era camera that I have actually liked, film or otherwise. I was over at my buddy with the Rebel D's (EOS 300?) place today. Playing "I'll show you mine if you show me yours". The Canon is nice, in some respects nicer than the Pentax. I liked the cursor switch on it better than on the Pentax, and the card literally jumps out into your hand when you eject it. I think the Pentax is worth the extra money. It has a nicer finish, and I liked the fit in my hands better. The Pentax viewfinder is better, and the layout is better as well. William Robb
