Step up from canon S2...350D vs D40 vs K100D [Archive]

> D40 vs. K100D vs. XTi
The cameras I'm looking at are the Nikon D40, the Canon Digital Rebel XTi, and the Pentax K100D, with some sidelong glances at the D200 (can't afford it) and the Pentax K10D.... The Xti is a nice camera but the viewfinder is insanely small....

i think the Pentax is really better featured than the D40 or xti... I think for the first time ever, I am actually leaning towards Pentax K100D, mostly thanks to your comments....
