Ah heck, I really should have bought the Nikon F100. It wasn't as if I was tied down to Pentax thru lenses. I can imagine the nightmare getting parts to fix this thing in the future will be. Ya ya, it's a great camera now, enjoy it, yadda yadda, but how about accessories as well in the future?

Finally got a chance to play with the LX at night. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the low light and OTF metering - I got by taking 2 or 3 of each rather than the 8 or so I was doing with the k1000 in low light. a couple samples are at http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=248862

I don't believe that there is particularly a difference. I think that if the DSLR is weather-proofed the same as the film camera (with electronics) then a similar result WRT invasion by water/etc will cause, er, similar results. What I mean is that a well weather-proofed DSLR should not (IMO)
