    Re: Which DSLR to get

    I see. The D7000 might get a price cut soon enough.

    Re: Which DSLR to get

    The Pentax k-x is starting to look very attractive to me.This is a city with a long history of Pentax loyalty so there is easy access to a large inventory of quality used lenses at very low prices . I probably have a dozen Pentax lenses right now that will work with the k-x.( If I can find them ). The local Pentax loyalists have not been sticking with Pentax as they went digital . I've picked up a few Pentax 35 mm slr collections dirt cheap at garage sales during the past two years.. The k-x's in body vibration control may not be perfect but it is better than nothing when working with old lenses. Raising the money to buy one won't be very painful either because of the k-x's low pricing here. If the reviews I read are accurate then the k-x's low light superiority is another big plus.

    Every one says I shouldn't judge a camera by its kit lens, but I do. Nothing turns me off on a camera more than the feel of a sticky or scratchy sounding kit lens. The Pentax kit lenses I saw today were awe inspiring compared to many.They were only very marginally second to Nikon with no stickiness whatsoever.

    Historically there was a lot of heckling between Pentax and Canon Loyalists around here. As a Canon Loyalist I used to swear I'd never own a new Pentax.Despite past rivalries I'd hate to see Pentax disappear. I just might buy the new Pentax to help them recover some of their lost market share.
