My reason is related (but not limited) to age. When my daughter (now in her mid-30s) was a toddler, she pulled my Mamiya-Sekor SLR off a table, and it died.
I went to Philly’s best camera shop (Mid-City Camera, now long gone). They had, in my price and feature range, a Nikon N2020 and a Pentax Super Program. The Pentax was soooo far superior in design, construction, and handling that I bought it. And them a couple of lenses, And then a couple more. And then a second Super Program body (which I still have). So when the world turned digital, I got an istD. Then a K10D (which my son just replaced for the sake of video ability; my daughter-in-law still uses the K10D). Then a K7 (for more megapixels and higher ISO), and then the K-5 that I’m still using, for almost 8 years). Oh, and the lenses… Oy. Way too many to replace.
