No, I'm not kidding. The specs on the K100 series don't impress me, nor do the latest batch of Pentax lenses. I'm going to keep my best Pentax lenses and the *istD, so If Pentax decides to someday put out a body that is worth my money, I will snap it up in a heartbeat. The 3rd party glass thing is just a symptom of a larger problem. Bottom line is that I'm sick of waiting for Pentax to put out products that I actually want. I still love my existing glass, but I think three years is long enough to wait for a new body. In the meantime, I have my eye on the Nikon D200. I'm going to go look at one this weekend. I'm not certain I'm going to go to Nikon, because I want to wait for the camera shows, but I'm hoping to start a new system by the end of the year. I spent last weekend researching lenses for both Canon and Nikon and I'm satisfied that I can get what I need for either system, although I will certainly miss my Ltd glass. :) Cotty, Nate thinks that the 20D would be almost a step sideways from the *istD, although if I decide to go with Canon, I'll probably start with the 20D and go from there.
