I've read a review at

I might be interested in buying one of these cameras as they do seem to be superior to the competition

Big difference in price. Is the extra price worth it?
I currently have a 35mm pentax SLR but only 2 lenses anyway plus my pentax 645 that I will still use with it's wonderful big film. Changing to canon would not be a big deal as I rarely use the 35mm camera anyway.
