Interesting. Here in the UK, Nikon is much more prevalent amongst PJs and news snappers than Canon. I always go for the underdog so chose Canon! Actually there was a much better reason - I decided I wanted CMOS rather than CCD (yes I know the 1D has a CCD). Why? Better battery life (allegedly) and there was already the D30 on the streets, so there were incumbents about, so to speak. The D100 was still imminent when I chose the D60. I have no regrets, even after having seen the *ist D now, although I think that it is a very cool camera. I have found something that suits me. I can't see myself returning to Pentax now, nor for the forseeable future. The Pentax I know and love exists in equipment that was made over 20 years ago.
