G'day and welcome, it's very nice to have been given a K10!

The books you have will complement the manual, so re-read stuff as you experiment with the camera.

Some of it will also come down to your own technique and style, and some down to the way you process your images on your PC (or Mac). Good pick-up re the impact of light on your shots by the way. There is a white balance setting on your camera that attempts to compensate for various types of light ('temperatures'). The good thing is that white balance (WB) is fixable in your post-processing.

You have a choice of shooting images in jpg format (quick and easy), or in RAW (far more flexible and forgiving once you start post-processing).

All the best!

You might want to have a good scour of this review as well link, before committing...

Battery life and flash are interesting reading / viewing. Also, I didn't get a sense of whether or not the Sony product gives you the ability to manually apply exposure compensation?

These were taken 'through the bubble' in 2009, with a DA 50-135 on a K10 (at the short end!).

Not great shakes as images, but it may give you a better idea...

Well g'day and welcome to you as well then! My first DSLR was a K10 also, and the Tammy 90 macro is a great lens to boot.

G'day and welcome - the Kr is a good suggestion, or else perhaps a used K7 or Kx from a reputable source (the last bit being arguably the most important).

G'day and welcome! Sounds like you'll be posting some great shots then, looking forward to them.

The Pentax range has moved on substantially since the K200 - the Kx, Kr and K5 are all superb in low light (arguably a forte for each). Not that that detracts from the K200 by any means.

G'day and welcome. Plenty of good gear exists to fit the cameras you now have, but the quest can be endless...
