Hi All,
I'm sure some here are interested in the comparison between these two, and this quote from Phil's review of the Canon 40D at DPR might interest you:
"There isn't a single camera on the market which gains so much by shooting RAW and using Adobe Camera RAW to convert its images than the K10D. The difference is night and day and indeed the K10D in this comparison trumps the EOS 40D for detail.."
That's nice to hear for us K10D owners. And we all know that the K10D JPG outputs can be fine tuned to great sharpness too if you know how
And here is a short comparison between these two cameras and matching 50/1.4 lenses by Phil from DPR Pentax Forum:
Pentax K10D+FA50/1.4 VS Canon 40D+EF50/1.4USM

You can see some RAW converted comparison photos by the two cameras in the above first link. Here are two of them processed at the same color temperature:
Personally (without seeing the original scenes) I prefer the colors produced by the K10D combo. The colors look more natural and pleasant to my eyes.
Anyway, nice to see our one year old K10D matches up the new Canon 40D nicely
As far as all the reviews I've seen so far, both cameras are capable of making great photos, both have their pros and cons. Either one would be more than enough for most photographers. Just choose one that suits you better.
But I do like some features on the Canon 40D as well: bigger buffer for continuous shooting, different levels of RAW formats, faster AF ... But if I have to choose one from these two, I'd still go with the K10D
Cheers and happy shooting!
