Mary, I have the Pentax Istdl with 18-55 and 50-200 lenses and I like it very much, although I'm itching to upgrade too. This camera meets all my needs as a portrait artist; for reference photos, photographing my work, and takes great family pics too. The reason I'd like to upgrade has more to do with landcape painting. The newest Pentax is water and dust resistant, so I'd feel more comfortable using it outdoors in our often rainy/misty weather here in the "Great Pacific Northwest." Plus I'd like a 50-300 lense, sometimes I can't get out as far as I'd like with the 200.
