The best thing you can do is get your hands on the ones you are considering and pick the one that "feels the best". They're all good otherwise.

Thanks Joe,
here in uk is now very good offer on pentax k-r, camera with 18-55mm and 50-200mm pentax lenses for £499, much beter deal as on canon 600d/550d, but everywhere people saying buy only nikon or canon .. more lenses more choices, but I realy like pentax like looks and fell in hand too..

In my opinion, the sheep say buy only Nikon or Canon. :^)
Check the reviews--Pentax makes cameras as good as or better than any one else and is noted for exceptional lenses. If you like the handling and user interface it will be a good camera for you. That price looks very good, too, I think.
(Disclaimer--I've been using Pentax cameras for 50 years or so. My daughter, though, uses Nikon and it suits her.)

Hi Joe,
just let you know, yesterday spend day trying all cameras, and decide for canon 600d, not for flipy screen, but fell in hand was great, just like for my hand, pentax k-r was very close, but wasn't same, tried nikon d5100 but this was to small to hold, already for my wife too...

hi,
Any particular reason why you dropped d5100 from the short list? just out of the curiosity...
