Well, my friend used to shoot Pentax, moved to a Canon D-Rebel, because Pentax didn't have a presence in either the local Camera store or any of the big box/home electronics stores, and became dissatisfied with the results from that, (mostly the fault of the krappy kit lens and krappier 28-300mm Sigma sold to her by the drone at Best Buy. She gave me her requirements and I fully thought that I'd end up suggesting she get a used K10/K20/K7 from KEH and the Pentax FA 18-135. But the Nikon lens is at least an order of magnitude better than the Pentax and the D90 is at least as good a camera as my K20D so...
