I just want to make it clear...
I DO like Pentax and I DO like my Canon
BUT, my Canon (300D) misses some very important (to me) features that
i would like to have. The light meter is much better in pentax then
canon. It's a really hard decision for me not because i like my canon
THAT much... it's because i have a lot of gear for it.... 3 lenses...
flash (sold it just today). It will be a big mission to sell it all.
BUT the stylist and a modeller won't wait.. they need a
photographer... you see... i can't buy anything without selling
everything. I will not be able to afford 2 cameras. Sticing with Canon
? the 300D is dead (let's be real.. it is...) on the market... no more
firmware upgrades and the functionality lacks lots of things (that
were added in the 350D) but the price of change is too high... the
ergonomics of 350D is VERY bad for me. if i stick to canon - i will
have to go for 20D and i really... really can't afford it... The
problem is, that in israel there are no normal stores that will sell
you only a body package but the full kit. for that they always
overcharge...
Bottom line - it's not a flame... I'm really in a hard situation and
in a big dilema. I do want to have only 1 system and use the great
Pentax lenses i already have. It's really hard to run with 2 bags with
6 lenses and all that stuff... i'm actually convinced already that i
want the istDS or DS2 but now it's the "go go selling" thing that
bothers me....
