Yes, I know that. Combine the fact that I haven't liked any of the
Nikon pro bodies since the F3 ... too big, too heavy, etc ... and that
their mid-range bodies, aside from the FM3a, had truly awful control
ergonomics, and that the D100 was more expensive than I was willing to
pay when it came out.
I bought the Canon EOS-IX in 2001 after selling all my Nikon gear. I
liked the size and control organization and it had a format similar to
what I was going to be buying in digital bodies coming up. Moving to
the 10D and then the Pentax *ist DS has been a natural thing.

Ironically, I found the Canon ergonomics to be truly awful. But then I
loved the F90x, I could operate almost anything without moving the
camera away from my eye. The later two-wheel bodies were a mild step
down (I do still prefer aperture rings)
One of the nice things about the *istD and DS is how similar it is to
the F80 and F75 ergonomically.
