If it were me, i'd be looking at the 350D or the d50 though as they'll command a greater price should you decide to sell up and move up the range.

Sony have said they'll honour KM warranties as part of the take over, its true the 350d and d50 will probably hold their value better but see 3. the smaller choice of lenses doesn't bother me much its the lack of available reviews thats got me stuck

1 upgrade path - unknown at the present as stated hoping sony announce where they're going at PMA

2 both sigma and tamaron make lenses for the KF mount, compatable flashes are harder to find though

3 I'll probably use my first cam till it dies
