I wish lenses attached/detached by turning in the same direction on both systems. :) > When I teach, I always use the Pentax.

There's my own lack of familiarity of course, but I do think Pentax is very good ergonomically in this regard. There's also a wide spread perception that buying an expensive DSLR will instantly give you the kind of images you see in the adverts and marketing material.

We used to make do with film, for goodness sake! I sense the digital revolution has made us into bigger prima donnas then before, myself included.
