My first three digital cameras were from Canon. At the moment I still own a Canon PowerShot G3 but when the Pentax *ist DS came out I was immediately interested.

After doing some research on the Canon Rebel and the Nikon D70 and the Pentax and after all was said and done I chose the Pentax! And I must say I'm very happy with it.

It is much smaller size than the others and seems very solid. Pentax lenses are also cheaper than similar Canon and Nikon lenses (You are paying for their marketing efforts). Also Pentax lenses from 30 years ago can be used with this camera.

Pictures thus far are excellent and I work with it each day. I enter many photo contests and this camera holds it own!
