I do not own a nice camera now, so have no old lenses. The big arguement FOR buying a Canon or Nikon is the abundance of lenses, flashes, etc., that are available for the Nikon and Canon cameras. I will probably never own more than 3 or 4 lenses, most probably macro lenses. The Pentax has the dust removal system, and the anti shake system in the body, the Nikon has niether. Plus, the IS or VR lenses for Canon and Nikon cost almost as much as the Camera, the Pentax lenses are much cheaper, because the IS is in the camera. That is why I have decided on Pentax, although Nikon and the D80/D200 came in a close second.
