Because there's still a concept called "Freedom of Speech" here, as much as
I hate using that grossly overused and abused cliche.

So why don't you just go off and buy a bloody Canon and unsubscribe? This
is a Pentax list, but sometimes it reads like a piece of Canon Marketing
propaganda.
I've got two *ist D, and several superb lenses which can't be bettered by
Canon at any price. Using Ebay (which still exists, by the way) I have
managed to acquire several excellent lenses at very good prices.
Pentax made a serious mistake with their choice of sensor (and sensor
size) with the MZD or whatever it was called, and it cost them dear, but
they are coming back. Give them time. And meanwhile shoot some pictures.
And stop whingeing.
It's the one bad aspect of an otherwise excellent list.

I recently recommended a Canon 20D to a colleague who owned no 35mm gear
to speak of. I don't think I would recommend a 350D. Build quality seems
inferior. I did mention that Pentax would be a decent choice because of
the backward compatibility and the resulting opportunity to buy high
quality used lenses, but I said that conventional wisdom would suggest
going with the Canon.

Exactly the way I feel Paul. I can't in good faith steer someone else
towards *starting* a Pentax system at this point in time. If all they
wanted is a DSLR with one zoom lens, maybe. But even then...
