Time for a shootout? I think you should have a Pentax vs. whatever it is you shoot, Nikon?, with somebody on the list. That somebody won't be me. Maybe someone you've pissed off? I bet you both get great pics. Chances are the Pentax system will be just as good if not better than your Nikon system. PZ1p + FA 80-200 f2.8 or FA 28-200 f3.5/5.6 vs Nikon F5 + AF 80-200 f2.8 or AF-S 80-200 f2.8 or 28-200 Nikon? Car race, bike race?
