As a long time Canon loyalist I never believed the day would come that I had anything good to say about Pentax.Nor would I have ever imagined that I would sell one of my Canons to raise money to buy a Pentax. Well, that day has come. Over the years I wouldn't even touch a Pentax at a sales counter due to the hostility between Canon and Pentax loyalists in this province. Stumbling across a favorable review on the K-z was enough to send me to the camera counters to check them out.
For the first time in over 30 years I was handling a camera I could afford that I couldn't criticize. Aesthetically it is a work of art. It fits like a calf skin glove. It's lens and controls don't stick and grind. I love it.
I like the Nikon D60 I bought this week but my feelings towards the new Pentaxs I saw this week are much stronger. I'm definitely going to buy one before I buy a new Nikon. I look forward to pitting them against each other in the future to see which comes out on top.
