While I agree with your review of the K10D I must say that I do not agree with the fact that you feel it is not a good camera for beginners. I am a beginner and have just got a new K10D. I understand that it does not have easy setting such as to just turn it to landscapes or portraits. I am not rich by any means, but feel if you want to advance, you should buy the best you can afford. I think any beginner that invest in inferior gear you will not be happy with what you get later down the road. I think if you look at it like driving a car. I learned on a stick and then it was very easy to drive an automatic. So why learn on an automatic then try to relearn on a stick. I think if you want an easy camera then this one is not for you. But if you want to advance this is a great tool to learn on. Yes a pro can take great pics on a disposable camera. But if all you ever use is a disposable you may never learn to get any better.

I know I am only a beginner and you may dismiss my thoughts as just one guys feelings. But I know that I got one great camera and one great learning tool.

Thanks,
