I agree, I just think it�s silly when they think their pictures will get significantly better with another trade mark on the camera and lens. IS or USM are only convenient features, not something that makes anybody a better photographer.

I don't think anyone stated they think that, in fact I'm sure they didn't. It had more to do with buying into a camera system with a probable future versus buying into one where the future is unknown, and most likely somewhat disappointing, and at best long in coming.
Certainly, I believe Image Stabilzation has the ability to improve the quality of a photograph. It can't make a bad composition good, but in certain circumstances I'm sure it can make the difference between a shot being a keeper vs. a discard.
OTOH, camere MFR's would like us to *think* that their gear makes for better phototgraphs, and there's no shortage of people here on the list that have an affinity for their Pentax gear.
In my mind, Christian thinks exactly the opposite. He believes he can enjoy the hobby and get satsifactory results with any system, and is getting tired of pooring money down the Pentax drain, when he has more options elsewhere.
