I think that you'll like either the K100D or Super zimzum.
I just have a 1 year old 100D, and it's given me more wonderful photographs than you could imagine
I hardly ever use the 18-55mm kit lens these days, however I always have it with me.
It's a really good lens, especially for the money.
I actually managed to sell a K100D, with the 18-55mm lens in my local camera shop today, by just showing the people looking a few images that I've taken with it
They weren't looking to buy a camera either..... No wonder Bill gives me discounts on just about everything
Originally posted by UnknownVT I think the K100D actually uses the shake-reduction mechanism to shake the CCD sensor as well to aid dust removal - please see page 189 of the K100D manual (

When I cleaned my K100D sensor - I did it without a blower - just held it with the lens opening down and turned on the Sensor Cleaning mode and I could hear faint sounds of the SR mechanism throughout the entire time the camera was in the Sensor Cleaning mode.
As much as I hate to say it you got lucky if you managed to shake any dust off
Read steps 1-9 on page 189 - 190, and you'll see that we're supposed to either blow it off or use a brush.
