Sort of hard to explain why I am debating this now. Not sure I can. But the K10D is going to be a long wait for me, and I bought three older Pentax lenses in anticipation.
I have a complete Canon kit, so it would be more a venture into Pentax digital. See if I got Pentax lenses I like, see if I like some performance etc. Keep the kit I have, Digital Rebel, and five good to very good lenses, but start trying out the other, a Pentax digital kit. I know several have used the DS and like it a lot. Used prices on DSs have dropped way down. The K100D new is about $175, close to $200 more, but it would let me see how Pentax's AS works. On the other hand, the DS is a proven performer with a faster write and/or bigger buffer than the K100D. My Canon, Digital Rebel, takes a while to write and the buffer isn't that big. But supposedly both the DS and K100D would also have a better viewfinder which would be interesting to explore. Anyone used both? What would you go for? (Please don't say K10D, that is a while off.) I currently have the A 70-210, the A 35-105, the DA 16-45, and also might get another lens or two. (Debating a couple of choices, but that can wait.)
