I have owned Pentax cameras since the K1000. I currently have my original K1000, which is my preferred film camera, and a K10D. I've used the other three major products. Of them, I like Nikon the best -- have owned several -- but I still swear by Pentax.
Caveat: the K20D (current version) is not a beginner's camera. Also, I'm not knocking Canon, Olympus and Nikon. Sony, who bought Minolta, are producing first class equipment too. This is a matter of personal preference. Any of the major brands are great equipment. Also, I'm referring to SLRs. In the smaller cameras, I would go with any of the name brands. Keep the pixel count as low as possible. You don't need more than 10 MP, and the higher you go with a small sensor, the more noise you get in low light. If you want to pay the money, you can't beat the Canon G9.

I can fix your Pentax by, - Taking it out of the cover, - Launching it like a Rocket in the air, - Watch it fall yay
