I love my fully manual film SLR over my automatic, and usually complain when using other peoples' digitals because they seem to be so completely automated and confusing. I have a P&S digital with zoom, but am frustrated with the lack of control, and find that pictures I could have got with my SLR are lost because the action has moved out of the frame by the time the shutter clicks. I know how pictures would look with the film camera, and am often disappointed when I use my digital, especially with the flash.
So... I happened upon an ad for the K10D and liked what I read, especially what sounded like way more manual control without the really confusing scene modes. I basically would like a digital that will give me the same kind of control as my manual SLR, but know that automatic settings can be really useful at time.
I like to shoot bike races, nature, architecture, and unposed portraits. I basically want a camera that I can use for everything, given that I am not a professional, and probably can't really afford this purchase.
I know this is long, but I want advice, and you need to know this about my tastes to advise me well. K10D, K200D, or wait until I can afford the K20D )or has it used, cheap)? Or are there other suggestions?
