The K10D and K-x are 2 different animals IMHO. If you prefer a larger, sturdier camera, with better control layout and weather-sealing, and don't need ISO3200 and above, then the K10D will serve you well. If you need/prefer the opposite, then you should choose the K-x

Thanks all for the information. I am leaning towards the K10D or possibly the K20D for the ergonomics and WR body. I'm just a little reluctant to dive into a refurb K10D because I don't want to get the camera and then have to turn around and return it to Pentax for repairs due to focusing issues, but I guess nothing is 100% sure when you buy a refurbed camera.

Thanks again to all!

I find the k10d to produce absolutely gorgeous photos at iso 100 - some of the best from any maker

and usable to about 400 to 800

but beyond that things fall apart

I am very satisfied with mine - with those caveats
