Built in image stabilizer allows me to take shots with lower ISO etc. I've also used it in pouring rain without cover because camera body is fully sealed as are many of the lenses.
At it's price point it cannot be beat as you can buy top dollar lenses for much less than of the cost of Nikon or Canon. Just my opinion, but I think its pretty accurate.
Where I have found limits of the system has been with Sports photography and birds in flight photos; Pentax AF is very accurate but it is slower than competing cameras such as a D300 or 40D. Its not a deal breaker as it just means I have to do more anticipation and manual / catch in focus at certain times.
Theres a new Pentax coming out on May 21st, I hope it will improve the AF then I will be really happy.

Nice to hear. I really enjoy my K10D and how easy it is to get to all of the features.
