I am looking to step out of the Canon market and try a new system. My choices are as follows,

Olympus E-500

Pentax k10d

Sonu A-100

What I would like to know from you is simple. If you were in my position, which would you go with? I have several manual Pentax lenses, but no guaranty that they will function correctly with the k10d. I can get the k10d with the 18-55 kit lens for just under $1000.

The Sony will come in just under $900 with 2 kit lenses, and the E-500 will come in at about $650 with 2 lenses aswell.

This is a real ball buster for me. I know that many have a fondness for Sony, but I have some trust issues with them. I am worried about image quality with the Olympus, and the Pentax may just be a rather large strech for me money wise, and with only one lens and some image quality concerns there too I am just kind getting boggled...:mad2:

Your thoughts would be great on this!

Thanks!
