Pentax v Nikon/Canon?
I'm looking into buying my first DSLR, and have got it narrowed down to the Pentax K-x, Nikon D3000, and Canon XS (1000d). Based just on the camera, I'm wanting to go with the Pentax; it's just a better camera. My question is this: If I want to expand further into photography, will Pentax's selection of lenses and cameras be that much worse than Nikon/Canon's?
I am a Pentax user for about 30 years and to tell you the truth, Pentax does not have a deep lens line up compared to Canon and Nikon. This holds especially true for the digital models. Hard-core Pentax users tend to be very simple folks who thrive with just the basics. There is a trend to go minimalistic. The mantra is to make do with whatever you have and do things better than what others have done before you.
If you consider the fact that Pentax in its history has just modified its mount system only once from screw to bayonet, you would recognize the advantage of having an almost endless source of old manual lenses available to you. If you purchase a simple and cheap adapter to accomodate Pentax screwmount lenses, you effectively double the sources you have. Do not discount the glass quality of old film lenses. They are still a force to contend with. The original Super Takumars of the past will be put to shame most modern digital lenses. Of course, you will be forced to go manual or aperture-priority with these antiquated lenses but as I have earlier mentioned, that is not a real issue with blue-blooded Pentax users.
