The Pentax *ist D will compatible with Pentax lenses introduced the last 20 years. The Canon D10 is compatible with Canon lenses introduced the last 16 years. Those older cannot even be mounted. The Nikon D100 has various limitation it takes the Nikon experts to figure out. It is certainly beyond my abilities. Minolta lenses doesn't fit any digital camera at all. Not even vaporware! So it seems to me that Pentax is best in business when it comes to compatibilty of DSLR's with older lenses although it could have been better. P�l
