I am going to really throw a curve at you. The Pentax K20D and the new K7 are excellent cameras with tons of innovative features for a fantastic price. I must agree witht the one post about the "kit" lenses, not always the best choice. I have been using a K10D for 2 years now and love it. If you want to check out some user pics go to

If i can answer any questions, just let me know
