Luminous Landscape Forum -> D40 vs. K100D vs. XTi
The Xti is a nice camera but the viewfinder is insanely small.... I jumped ship to Canon just a little too soon and then jumped back with the Pentax K100D....

Step up from canon S2...350D vs D40 vs K100D [Archive] - Digital Camera Resource Page - Forums
I think for the first time ever, I am actually leaning towards Pentax K100D, mostly thanks to your comments.... Any other camera will be better for a string of more that 5 jpgs or 3 RAW....

The XTi and Pentax K100D are more complete cameras.... Any other camera will be better for a string of more that 5 jpgs or 3 RAW....
