All my lenses are of the compatible variety except one. Yet when multiplying the focal lengths with the 1.5 factor I only get two usable lenses, so digital looks like a more expensive proposition than just body and accessories. Add to this the relatively low resolution and loss of apertu

I expect to treat digital as a new format. When the time comes, I will by a DSLR from whoever makes the one that fits my needs. Right now I don't see myself buying a DSLR for a couple of years no matter what -- the technology is still very immature. I have a digicam (Canon G2) for the time being

I can't speak for anyone else, but my belief is that 3rd Generation electronics will be better than first. If I must live without aperture control on the lens and must buy all new lenses, I'll go with experience, unless Pentax shows clear superiority in ALL aspects of their product then I'll buy f

Think about what you wrote here for a minute: Aside from a couple moments Canon has had Nikon sucking wind since 1897. What makes you think that Pentax's Ist* D class camera will keep up with Canon's 10D class camera? BR "Steve Desjardins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ... Assuming that the Ist*D

Most of my lenses are FA so there's no compatibility issue. From what I can see, IS lenses are too expensive for what I do, so having those available is no really an advantage. Assuming that the Ist*D is comparable to the 10D, I can't see any good reason to switch. I do have my suspicions about
