so i was at a shop today and tested both the Pentax K5 and the Nikon d300s. ended up preferring the pentax, convenient since that wouldnt need a system-change.
still, i am not sure if i should wait for the d400. but if i wait, i know that it will be too expensive at the beginning, especially with the system-switch and whatnot. yet i still want a more "professional" body, you know, for taking blurry pictures of daisies in the sunset.
