I think the K10d competes with the E510, not the E3, at least
in pricing terms.
Checking B&H
Pentax K10D $699 minus $100 rebate
Olympus E510 $719
Nikon D80 $875
Canon 400D $593
Without IS, I don't consider Canon or Nikon competitive for
my use. I'd take the Pentax on body features and price, but
factoring in lenses, I'm not sure.
The E3 is competing in another price bracket:
Olympus E3 $1699
Nikon D200 $1499
Canon 40D $1299
Canon 5D $2199
I'm not buying in this range. If I were, I think it would be 5D
for full frame and image quality vs. Olympus for the IS and
lenses like 14-35 F2 which has to be almost perfect for
some uses, like wedding photography.
