Hi, I am hoping to buy my first Digital SLR and spent a few minutes in a store before my wife dragged me out :-) I use a Pentax ZX-M with two PKA zoom lenses right now (35-105 f/3.5 and 70-200 f/4).
I thought that I liked the feel of Pentax K10D but then when I tried Nikon D80 it sort of felt lot better. Was this because I spent too little time inside the store and not outside etc.? I don't know. The focussing on Pentax with the 18-55 seemed to hunt compared to the Nikon that had 18-70. Has anyone had direct exposure to Canon and Nikon besides Pentax. I searched the archive and read a few emails on this topic but wanted to ask all over again. Sorry about this. My concern is that Pentax autofocus may seem to hunt more and be less accurate. The salesman and couple of other customers in the store all suggested that Nikon is way better than Pentax.
