Re: L plate for *istD

[Paul Stenquist]

I have considered switching to Canon as well. But not because Pentax 
doesn't have an upgrade path. Canon is simply the digital leader right 
now. However, Pentax will undoubtedly have an upgrade path. These two 
cameras are not the last they'll ever market. Recent success bodes well 
for that -- if they don't blow it all trying for the MF market. So for 
now, I'm content to wait. If I made the jump to Canon, I'd probably be 
going from two cameras and 15 lenses, including some very fine primes, 
to 1 camera and perhaps three middling lenses. I wouldn't move to the 
20D. I don't think the difference would be noticeable. In fact, some 
users who've experienced both the *istD and the 20D have said the Canon 
is inferior in many ways. I'd have to go to the 1DS Mark II or not at 
all.

If I had the money & could justify the expense, I'd make a switch to
Canon. As much as I like my Pentax kit, the lack of an upgrade path,
if I decided to go that route, is a bit of a bummer.

think the Canon is too large too, but it does things that no Pentax

do, 4FPS with a decent sized buffer and 16MP. that outweighs the size 
gain.

Herb, your the first person I've come across who thought the D was 
too
large.

Weren't you saying a little while ago you were thinking of moving to
Canon?
