Likewise here Scott, I have mine set to user select and I tend to move that focus point around quite a bit

Best of luck with your new Canon gear Terry, I hope it all works out OK for you

As do I, I must admit. Hope your Canon experience fares better Terry.

What happened to requiring in-body SR?
You could've bought an extra K20D for the price of the 50D... and you could still have pushed Pentax for some kind of remuneration or recompense

Stil, hope you're happy now

Congrats on the purchase Terry!

I've got 51 focus points, but usually only use one of them. (Or seemingly none of them if you see most of my photos! )

That Oly you were thinking of is a nice bit of kit, but the lenses are eye wateringly expensive, but Canon make some beauties, as I'm sure you already know.

Mainly the MP-E 65 .. probably the only reason I would swap my Pentax kit atm.

To be honest it is probably why the lenses (Zooms) are so eye wateringly good

I wasn't doubting that, but I was more commenting how it's an awful lot of money for most non-pro photographers to lay out...

Not necessarily The L70-200/2.8 didn't seem half as sharp as the DA*50-135 wide open In fact, if you check out the MTF charts for many Canon L series lenses the Pentax equivalent still tops them. (Plus the fact I much prefer the Pentax bokeh!)

Though the L series glass is full frame - and correspondingly heavier
