My 8 year old has a *istDS... I found the K-x much simpler (in terms of use) and my K5 even more so...

I think you misread the original post. Or you need new glasses.

this will be the first time i have a current camera as my K100d and K200d were both bought after they'd been discontinued.
slightly excited, but also apprehensive. i love the simplicity of the older cameras and i'm only 'upgrading' as the K200 doesn't autofocus after i dropped it!
i'll keep the K100 (a replacement version as i wore out my original) as i LOVE the images it produces, especially with the 10-17.
just thought i'd share my excitement!
