1. What camera do you currently have, and why did you choose to purchase it?

Hi,
I'm currently using a Pentax K10D and K30. The K10 was purchased as a 'bundle' many moons ago, and I must admit to not looking much beyond the attractive price of said 'bundle' at the time. I grew to love the 'ole K10, however, and equally came to like Pentax's distinctive approach to digi-toggy. Despite becoming as comfortable with the K10 as I am with my favourite shoes I nonetheless figured it was time to upgrade my kit and reduce the K10 to 'backup' status when the K30 arrived on the scene. As I wanted a white body and none were available at the time, I was loaned a blue bodied example to 'play with' in the interim and wow...what a difference!
I love the K30, but curiously still tend to grab 'ole faithful when engaged upon one of those "quick, let me grab my camera" moments!
The K5-2 had me drooling until I read about the pending K50 etc and suddenly thought 'hang on, this just goes on and on...updated cameras every five minutes and not one of them likely to improve my core/inherent photographic skills.
The truth is that if I have it within me to capture a truly stunning image then it won't matter a jot if I'm using my digitally Cretaceous K10 or the very latest Paparazzi special as both can only work within the limits of my eye for the moment and photographic knowledge.
Consequently I already own the next camera(s) I'd like to own.
