HI. I have a k00d super and a FA 50mm 1.4 lens (love the bokeh) and wanted to get an 18-250 (or so) to go with it. Would you recommend Pentax or Tamron? I like to take pics of flowers, landscape, family and some portrait (for advertising earrings) etc. Any other recommendations for these uses? Thanks in advance... this forum is sooo helpful!

Hi. I'm new to photography and looking at a few different cameras. What is DOF preview and how do you use it? This is one of the options I'm comparing. Thanks!

I'm looking at the k100d super and the 2000. I've seen amazing pictures taken with the k100d (and super). I seen very few postings of photos taken with the k-2000. Nor are there many posts from people who've purchased the k-2000. Is it because it's new or because it's not a good camera. The reviews I've read have been pretty mixed. The main features I'm looking at are the 11 pt af vs the 5 pt af ... how important is that to total novice dslr user? The battery life of the 100d super seems very short. I thought that the help button might be really useful considering I know very little about photography (much less dslr photo). I'd like a camera that takes good pictures, that's easy to handle, travel with and grow with. Any suggestions?

it's almost like a slight clicking sound - like if there were a small paperclip kind moving around slightly inside with limited room to move.. ?

What I meant was that did a little research prior to purchasing another 100ds and found many people really like the camera. I figured if I can maximize the battery life and take the money I would spend to upgrade to another camera and invest it in a pretty good lens, it might be the perfect fit for me...?

I think I'll stick with the k100d super. The last one I bought was stolen over the weekend along with my Tamron 70-300mm and 55mm Pentax lenses (I'd barely even used them!) I just figured I'd do some more research prior to replacing them so I purchased the k100d super and a Quantaray 70-300 and 28-90 lens. Rather than buying the k10d or k-m I might just invest in the Pentax fa 50mm 1.4 lens. Any thought or suggestion with respect to the lens choices? I can still return them...
Thanks in advance!

will the 11 pt metering on the 100ds be a huge advantage to the 5pt metering on the k-m? I'm not sure if i'm using the correct terminology...

If you've used or own a k-m/2000 what are your thoughts on its performance and image quality?

does the af have a bad rep in k-m? I've just read it's a lot faster?

As I mentioned, my hands are small and I am reluctant to go any bigger than the 100d super...how big is the 200d?

Hi I'm totally new to digital slr photography and am looking for a good starter camera. I've done a bit of research on the Pentax km, k100d super and the K10. I have small hands so I don't want anything too big. I found the 100d super for $209. and the k10 for $249. What would you recommend for shooting outdoor stills and/or candid stuff?:p:
