I agree with you about the 4/3 system equipment being much bulkier than I expected.

Here I disagree with you. From my film and digital work, I'm convinced that I have much more dynamic range and shadow detail to work with in the digital capture exposures than I did with 35mm. Output from the Canon 10D and Pentax *ist DS rivals medium format in tonalities, imo. > .. 6mp camera is adequate for the most application.

Since I don't have one to judge yet, I can't say that the K10D is or isn't better than an 8Mpixel variant of same would be. I do know that between 6 and 8 Mpixel produces very little real difference in output prints, 10Mpixel does pull more detail out on wide views, with a 28-29% improvement in linear resolution. I can see it when comparing *ist DS vs Sony R1 captures where it is extremely difficult to see any difference comparing *ist DS vs KM A2 captures (only 8-9% linear resolution improvement for the latter).
