Now I have to put in a word - the durability of ANY digital SLR is highly overrated. My company chose to buy Nikons. The private photogs in the area choose Canon. Since I know all of them pretty well, I get to ask a lot of questions and be observant. What I've seen is a lot of cameras falling apart. I can't begin to tell you how many Nikons our company has replaced from normal (pj) wear and tear. It's pretty disheartening to see cameras held together with duct tape because there are bits and pieces literally falling off. The Canons used by my friends (who don't use them as hard as our guys use the Nikons) don't take many pictures because they spend most of their time in the shop. Again - bits and pieces falling off or things going haywire in general. I know one who actually quit as a photographer because he couldn't afford to keep repairing his equipment. Quite frankly, I don't see how Pentax could be any worse. I haven't had one yet that's had anything fall off it.
