Nice!

I wouldn't want it any smaller. It fits just nicely. I also wouldn't want it any lighter. Its weight helps me to keep it steady. Besides, with a small and light lens, the camera/lens combo isn't overly heavy, AFAIC.

Love the sound of it.
I don't do weddings or birding or whatever would require a quieter shutter.

I don't find the interface slow. I agree with Marc though that more buttons/dials on the camera to directly access more functions would be nice. That (and more cropping potential) would be my main motivation to change. But before I spend more money on gear, I first need to develop my capabilities to justify the expense.

Only hit that once when I shot a bird in RAW. Any other time I was fine. But I see that this can be a problem for some.
Originally posted by k100d -auto iso fails on exposure comp
That bugged me first as well but more and more I'm selecting ISO manually instead of leaving it to the camera.
Originally posted by k100d -general underexposure
I hear this very often but really I believe this is a feature. The ratio in which I apply negative compensation vs positive compensation is about 50:1. It may not correctly aim for an 18% value but for me the main thing is to avoid blown highlights. And isn't "underexposure" a trait of all post K100D Pentax camera's too?
