Hey, thanks for your input!

Reading up on these cameras is a bit overhelming with all the terminology, etc... I have been reading dpreview.com about the Canon and Nikon, but didn't even think to look at the Pentax yet.

Is there something that jumps out as a benifit of the Penta over the other two?

Thanks again.


EDIT: One other quick question.. would you rule out Olympus DSLRs? I was thinking about waiting to see what the E510 that is due out in a coupld of months will be like.
