I haven't actually bought a dSLR yet, but the K-M 5D has some serious advantages over the competition for an available light shooter like me whose work tends toward the telephoto. First, I don't have to worry about the extra price for an IS (Canon) VR (Nikon) or OS (Sigma) lens to keep camera shake under control. With the K-M 5D, everything has anti-shake capability. I don't have to pay extra for the feature for every lens I get; it's built into the camera body instead. I also get a real mirror lockup and DOF preview that Canon and/or Nikon leave off their entry-level models.
