Pentax to Can-none

[Jay Todd]

As with others, I was a long-time Pentax user.  When the digital bug 
bit, I had used a Canon D30 and D60 through work, but kept waiting for 
Pentax to come out with one to buy for personal use.  When I grew tired 
of waiting, I sold most of my Pentax 'collection' and bought a 10D and 
70-200/2.8, and liked what I was getting.  I bought in May, and soon 
after the istD became available, my 10D body suddenly wouldn't start 
up....nothing.  It has been at Canon Repair since, get this, Oct. 8 
2003, and no word of when I'll get it back.
Not that I want to debate 10D vs. istD here, but needless to say I 
would gladly give up the 100-3200ASA, Litho battery, etc. for a camera 
that may be prone to a bad pixel here or there.
