Hi folks. I've been using a Fujifilm F-11 compact for the last year or so but now, as my skills have increased, the limitations of my camera are becoming all too apparent. I'm in the market for a DSLR and I'm getting a bit confused. I've ruled out the Canon EOS 40 because it's too small. It doesn't really fit in my shovel-like hands. The Nikon D40X has much the same problem. I'm now looking at a Canon EOS 30, Nikon D80 and a Pentax K10D. I really like the idea of owning Canon or Nikon but I'm not so sure about Pentax. Thing is, the Pentax has far more features than the competition for the price. I can't find any of these in local shops so I'm not sure how they handle. Anyone here with any experience of these models? How are they in use? Also, does anyone know of any new products on the horizon? I imagine Canon and Nikon are going to have to up their game in light of the feature set found on the Pentax.

Thanks in advance for any help folks.
