I have to add that the Pentax K10d didnt feel "cheap"
at all. Nicely built camera. I expect the K20d/K200d
are built just as well.
The D80 felt more comfortable than the Pentax and
build is on-par with Pentax and Olympus.
As for Pentax zooms - I had heard from someone
recently that better Pentax zooms are hard to get.
They are being sold out of China/Japan/Hong Kong for
more than going retail price because they are hard to
get.
