The first Pentax *istD is nice, my daughter still uses it frequently.

I used to be a little jealous, but then the Nikon D80 came along. Not
as small, but nice enough.

The Olympus with this 25mm ... now we're getting places.

But I'm satisfied with what I have. I sure do wish they were all using
the same mount, like the Olympus system. Lenses lock you into a body
and that isn't always good.
