I think you're misreading what I'm saying.  I'm not saying that the MX is
a bad camera, or that it isn't well-spec'ed.  I'm not saying that you
shouldn't use one, or that it doesn't have its good points.  All I'm
saying is that, based on the cameras I've seen, the MX doesn't hold up to
heavy use as well as some Pentaxes, like the K-series bodies, do.  I'm not
trying to argue that the MX is a bad camera or that people should switch
to the K bodies.  Use what you like, and what works well for you.  I'm
sure some people have had the opposite experience from what mine has been,
and that's prefectly valid.

Hope it's a keeper!
