Andrew welcome to the board!
I still have an Ist Ds (6MP) which I am happy with. One big advantage when travelling is that the K100D(s) takes normal batteries, not the special ones needed for the K10D.
However the K10D is a superb camera from all I have read and the photos I have seen. I shall probably buy one eventually.
I would suggest you wait until you return to the UK and can handle both models and see which feels best to you. The prices may drop even more with the announcement of the new model in January.
Sensor cleaning is not a big deal - you can get an Arctic Butterfly brush or the Pentax cleaning kit for that. Just remember to point the camera down when changing lenses to minimise the crud that gets in.

Vrolijke Kerstfeest en een gelukkig en gezond nieuwe jaar!
Stockings are filled, presents are wrapped, dogs are walked.......
Now I must make that brunch for my son
No turkey this year though. We all get together and celebrate on the third day of Chrstmas, due to work commitments on Boxing Day, so it will be roast beef instead. yummie.

Happy Christmas to you all.
Being more of a dog person I'll not post a photo of the beasties - they might chase all those cats

Thankyou Gordon, I hope you have a happy Christmas too!
My son used to go to Japan regularly - he had a Japanese girlfriend. That was an expensive relationship! We never made it over there sadly before they broke up. It's on the very long wish list
Have a great trip!

I have to agree with AJ. It need space on the right for the bird to look into.

From the way that he is holding it, it doesn't look as heavy as one might expect. Made from cardboard perhaps?
It weighs over 35lbs! Not sure they are in production yet though. It was announced at the PMA in March. Not in Pentax fit you will all be disappointed to hear.From the way that he is holding it, it doesn't look as heavy as one might expect. Made from cardboard perhaps?
