Okay sorry for misunderstanding.
With sharpening you reduce the out of focus blur and that with the smaller size image, the blur will even get less.
The thing you can do is selective sharpening so only sharpen the men and not the children.
If you can work in layers you can also reduce the photo 2 times one for the blur and the one for the sharpening.
Then you for example the sharpened on over the blurred one and hide (erase) everything that doesn't need to be sharp so that the blurred image is revealed under it.

SRS have the K-x kit for £549.The K-X is here €549 with the kit lens so around $819 (£490)
The shop I took the price has a great starting offer but they don't go down after some months, the K7 is still the same price as it was in the beginning. It was a very good price then but now it's a bit higher then the rest.
If it goes the same as with the K7 then over 2 or 3 months it's the same price.

Chris with "true to life" I mean Like a lens would do in real life.
What a program basicly do is shake the pixels together and make an average, it isn't that simple but that is basicly it.
So if something is close it will just have as much blur then something that would be far away.
It of course depend on the image and the effort that someone put in it.
If the DOF goes out of focus infront and rear of the subject then you've a problem.
The second photo Lance posted on page 2 is such an example.
Just show me what you can do with a program, it will take a lot of time to get it like a lens would do

That depends on the type of photo again since you need to place the DOF so that it wouldn't capture anything so to say.Undoubtedly, and not just women!

Air, water and food, warmth would speed up the grow.
There is nothing special of being a lens, I don't fungus will discriminate

This have everything to do with the size of your image and not due to reduction.
Circle of confusion is the thing that cause most of the problem.
Here is a link a bout it link
To explain it very simply, we can only define a spot of a certain size to be blurred if a spot is smaller then we can't judge that any more.
It's the same with those commercial posters at the bus station, ad a distance they look like a perfect image but when you stand near and look close you can easily see the print dots that make up the photo.
If you stand at a distance they are simply to small to see.
(maybe not the best example but it explains it a bit)

Lets see anyone turn those f1.2 shots into sharp, textured accurate images of the subject.
I still need to find a program that can decently simulate lens bokeh, they simply can and will probably never will since they can't see depth and therefore can not create a good true to life bokeh.I suspect getting that blurred/dreamy effect would be pretty easy with any half decent zoom and decent photo-editing software.

Here comes the counter question, why does it need to be sharp?
I'm sure a woman would appreciate a soft lens

Also the US price is without VAT so add 15% and the price becomes more comparable... still a difference though but hey you're English and like to do things differently right

Strange... the file limit is 4GB because of the FAT format used.
Format the card with the camera and try it again.
Other then that it's probably an user error, a setting that you've changed in your menu for example. I don't have a K-7 so can't help you with that but if it becomes urgent you can reset your settings to manufacturing default and that would solve it most likely.

Re. your second post - what you suggest would retain the sharp detail. However, I'd still have a problem with the bokeh. Even if I don't apply any sharpening to the picture the oof area is affected detrimentally by re-sizing.
Then you get the thing you want from each image and merge them together.
It is quite time consuming though, hopefully John's suggestion does the trick.
