# I got my Dad a dSLR for his sixtieth...
... I think it was a canon, but can't remember. I'll gaz you the details and his feedback.

I got given a Pentax SLR for my 18th, and decided to upgrade to dSLR when it dies. And it turns out to be utterly indestructible: 15 years on, it's still going strong, with its 35mm film and its manual wind. So if the durability of that is anything to go by, the Pentax ought to be pretty good.

# I think the Pentax has nice weather-proofing on it's DSLR bodies
My Nikon D70 is pretty dated now being only 6 megapixels but it's got great build quality.
