Yeah... sorry about the category... I don't know what happened there. Anyway, just to let you know, I will be using manual focus ALOT, especially during video. That's one of the main reasons that I want to upgrade to a DSLR.

I'm leaning more and more toward the k-x.

Thanks for the replies you guys. I as thinking about what enoeske was saying, that if I'm looking for a long-term camera I shouldn't go for an entry-level model. I was thinking the exact same thing, but why not? that's another of my questions. I was sold on the k2000 before the k-x came out, but that's because I had a shot at a double-lens kit for $529. Anyway, I think the k-x has some superior specs that I wouldn't be able to do without (predominantly high ISO performance). I'm very glad that the k-x has a lot more dedicated buttons on the body than the k2000 does, even if they are on the arrow buttons. the ISO button will be very nice, and the fact that you can hold down the button on the top to adjust aperture. Anyway, is there a practical reason that I should not get an entry-level model if I want long-term performance? By the way, the k-x offers almost as many controls on the body as the k10d.

This is my first DSLR, and I want it to be a good performer for a long time. I am leaning toward the k-x mostly because of video and high ISO performance. Is there any reason besides weather sealing and better viewfinder that I should get the k10d? I am 14 and wanting to get more serious about photography.

yes I do know what that means. Thanks for your advice. I don't really care about the auto scene modes. I know i would never be using those anyway. What I really meant to ask is if the faster fps, video shooting, liveview, and better ISO would make it worth the extra $250 or so. I am a little bit worried about the k10d's high ISO performance.
p.s. I don't want a "beginner" camera. I know that "ease of use" would be no good to me after I learned my way around the camera, and having more buttons and controls on the body is a plus for me. I have 9 siblings, and needless to say they don't stand still long enough for me to wade through menus on the LCD.

I know the k10d is a bit... outdated, but I found a price at keh.com for $339. I would then go fora set of a 28-80 and 70-300mm sigma macros. The other choice would be to get the k-x for $750 with the 18-55 & 50-200mm. I need some advice. Is the k-x really wort the extra money? I'm on a budget and I'm getting my first DSLR (I'm 14).
Which would be better [I]in the long run?[I] Thanks.
p.s. my dad has 2 old film lenses: 70-210mm 4-5.6 and 50mm f/2.
