Well reading through a similar thread I would say yes.
But knowing the NT you will probably find it only applies if your using a compact or camera phone, get the DSLR out and the heavy hand of sucurity will probably throw their weight around
Its a well known fact that security staff are trained to spot a pro-photographer by the size of his camera
EDIT, typo.

It came as a shock to me that I switched, mainly because I'd been thinking about it for a while but actually made the decision very quickly.
I did go full frame - the D700 but full frame really wasn't the biggest issue. I haven't got many lenses at the moment but I'm going to add to them slowly and get a couple of zooms then focus on primes.
I take the point about the 300 with converter but in low light focussing would be slow.
I have been using Pentax Equipment for many years, but recently went on a field trip with a photographic society to a birds of prey centre. They demonstrated in flight all species of birds and my Pentax autofocus system could not keep pace. When at a later meeting our work was projected on screen, members images were spectacular, taken of course on Nikon and Canon equipment. Needless to say I did not show any images, they were not good enough and I am an experienced photographer of many years standing.
I to have felt the urge to go Nikon or Canon, for fast autofocus and longer lenses, but I would not sell my older Pentax equipment as some of the manual focus optics are first class.
