I'll need a bigger card for my Pentax K7 that's coming next month.

I don't see any EXIF on the original photo from the dpreview forums either, but the file name does start with "K20D" :-)

I want to go to there.

Hooray

I really need a trash bag so I hope I win this.

Engadget can only provide us with a rough estimate of the price in USD based on the conversion rate if the companies only announce their pricing in Yen.

They could have simply posted $101 and $57 without the Yen values, but that would be misleading because the final US prices will definitely be different.

@Sam:
I think you misread my post. I said, "Whichever brand you choose, there will be more than enough accessories and *lenses* for amateur photographers and enthusiasts." My point was that Nikon and Canon are popular because they offer an overwhelming numbers of options for lenses and accessories, but it's really over-kill for MOST non-professional photogs. Any brand will offer a wide enough selection for amateur photographers, and in the right hands, any modern camera can take a great photo. If you ever decide to go pro, you'll probably need a new system anyways, so future-proofing mostly pointless. Of course, there are always exceptions, but in most cases, picking the right camera shouldn't be about technical specs and upgrade paths.

I'm a Pentax owner and currently own about 15 lenses. About a third of them are manual focus primes from the 70s and 80s. The rest are modern auto focus lenses from the last 10 years. Sometimes, I wish I had a Nikon/Canon so I can have a better AF system, but then I'd be missing out on the wonderful, all metal, DA Limited pancake primes that Pentax offers.

For most, I don't think it matters at all which brand you buy. The only people that need to be concerned with the brand "ecosystems" are professionals who actually need and can afford expensive glass and accessories. Whichever brand you choose, there will be more than enough accessories and lenses for amateur photographers and enthusiasts.

Also, a lot of people get caught up on the technical specs of new camera bodies and forget that their camera from two or three years ago can still take pictures just fine. The latest Nikon/Canon offering may have perfect auto-focus, 1000 FPS, a full frame sensor, and brings about the second coming of Christ, but that DSLR from 2005 is still just as good as it ever was. In the end, it's really the photographer behind the camera that determines whether or not a picture is good. Remember, Ansel Adams got along just fine without Live View.
