I came from the "dark side". Matter of fact, I still have my Canon
kit, or most of it (10D + 20/28/50/100 lenses). And my Konica Minolta
A2. Both are excellent cameras, make great photographs. They're on
the shelf, right next to the two DS bodies and my kit of Pentax
lenses, ready to go into action anytime I feel like it. I just
charged up their batteries this weekend. Maybe I'll take some
pictures with them again soon.
What is all this hooey about? Did your brother *want* a Canon... or a
Pentax? Does he care at all what brand camera he got? (If someone
gave me a DSLR, any DSLR, I'd be freekin' happy too.) Or do you just
want to whine about Pentax? What is the point of it?
To me, posts like this are a great waste of time and bandwidth. You
must be bored.
