Had I not so many Pentax lenses, I'd be looking seriously at a Canon, in

are lots of lenses and accessories for it, just like there was for Pentax
about fifteen years ago.  The 20D seems like a good way to go.
Uh, but you could still get those lenses from 15 years ago, couldn't you?

OK, I guess those used lenses will be getting (too) old and harder to come by if (e.g.) Pentax doesn't get up the pace on new stuff, but the point is, I wouldn't make a recommendation based on the availability of new lenses alone, since I've only ever bought second hand ones myself...

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...
