Thinking about a new Camera

[Mary Sparrow]

I am considering purchasing a new camera. I notice it has been a while since cameras have been discussed here and wondering if anyone has a new (or older) model they just love?

I currently have one of the original digital rebels. It is still in working order, but I am one of those people that itches to upgrade or try something new every few years.

I do have a few lenses for the Rebel, so in theory I suppose another canon would be logical. But I have heard so much about the nikons I am considering trying that to be different.

I have also been encouraged by a photographer to try the Pentax d10 or 20. She swears it is superior to Canon and comparable to or better than the similar Nikons without the pricetags.

Any input would be appreciated
