Hey Pat, I think that the price is bang on - the prices of those other bodies (10D and D100) are the same here in Toronto.
If the Pentax is coming in at $2899 CDN vs the Canon 10D at $2499 CDN, I would think that people outside of the Pentax camp would be hard pressed to "switch" or try the *IST-D. You're basically looking at a 1st generation digital SLR that's supposed to be priced competitively yet is about $400 CDN (not including taxes) above the 3rd generation competitor. With that extra $400, you could outfit yourself with a nice flash or perhaps a nice honking sized Compact Flash card.

This shop lists the 10D for $2499 and the D100 for $2699, bodies only. The *ist-D will be $2899, body and FAJ 18-35 lens. All prices in Canadian dollars. Their prices on the C and N cameras seem a little high, so the Pentax may be less at other retailers. Including the lens at that price seems like a good idea.
