So if someone with no SLR kit and with no potential access to your lenses asked you for honest advice on which entry level DLSR kit to consider would point them the Pentax way (ie *ist Ds) or towards Canon (350D)? I'm great at selling Canon, I just say you'll end up being as frustrated as me if you go the Pentax route.
