Post about any camera or camera parts that you have, want, admire, lust, or just think is damn cool.

This is meant to be an informative thread for people who want to know about different cameras or just like discussing them.

Thats the same market I am in right now I am currently looking into the Pentax K100D because for the price it's one hell of a camera. But I am sure there are some others on this board who could give a bit more experienced input.
It's about $650
