Simple: "Pentax is in a class by itself." ;-)
BTW, M., the Rebel does have image stabilization (on the lenses, not the camera, true, Pentax does it on the camera, not the lenses). ...Then if you need to, point out that Pentax has all the same features as the HIGHER END Canon and Nikons (with a slight sneer at any Canon Rebels near by you), but at a lower price. And, in addition to that, you can use 75-year-old lenses on it if you want. "Pentax glass is good forever." (Well, I think the M doesn't work that well, but pretty much everything works, somehow.)

Here's my situation: Last night I started the first class of a ten-week workshop on Portraiture. As usually happens, the instructor came to the point where she wanted to get a rough idea of who she was dealing with. "How many people shoot Canon? How many are Nikon shooters?" She counted the hands that went up, and then, shaking her head side to side in the "NO" gesture, she said, "Does anyone have anything else...?" This is when my hand went up. She looks at me surprised, "Sony?" "Nope. Pentax." Her look changes from surprise to an equal mix of confusion and concern. "Do you /really/?" "I really do." Now, I am perfectly confident and comfortable in my choice of gear. I do not feel embarrassed or ashamed. I also prefer to let my photos do the talking, instead of the camera brand. However....sometimes, I just want a good comeback. Something that demonstrates just how brilliant and independent-minded I am in my choice, and how superior it is. What do you say to the Canikon crowd to put them in their place? I would like to have something ready to go when I go back tonight for the start of the Creative Lighting workshop. :) Thanks!
