Update
More or less narrowed it down to the following (click on the pics):
$999
Comes with a free 1gig card, a bag, and something else which eludes my confused little mind now.
$1388
Comes with a free 2 1gig card, bag, blah blah. Option to buy zoom lens at $199.
$1799
Comes with *takes a deep breath* 2 1gig cards, a 38 litre dry cabinet, filters, second zoom lens, lowepro camera bag, tripod, filters, extra battery….I think that’s it.
The Panasonic, while really good as a prosumer camera, just cannot compare to the dSLRs. And for $1099, I’d rather get the Pentax, which I must admit, is alluring solely due to its cheap cheap price. Such dilemmas. :(
