I am considering buying a point and shoot camera. There seems to be some excellent reviews on the net
even comparing the IQ to the level of some digital SLR models. Would any one even consider trading a SLR in favour of a point and shoot.

I bought a P&S (Fuji X20) to complement my Pentax DSLR's, but found that I tended to use it too much, which would have been ok if it could equal the Pentax kit for IQ, but it didn't.

The solution was to buy a K-S1 body, which paired with any of my Limiteds is almost as small as the Fuji but with far improved IQ (and disco lights!).

The issue is whether there's something about the Pentax kit that's getting between you and your hobby?

Were you in global or individual AF tuning mode?
global or individual?

just AF tuning mode (26)
You have a choice of global - where the same adjustment is applied to ALL lenses - or individual, where each lens is adjusted... individually The camera can store up to 20 individual lens settings (I think).

As to an improvement between your first and second shots - I'm not sure there is, sorry. But, they both look quite good. Better to take shots of the same targets at the same settings, which should be with a wide open aperture.

Looking for one which is lightweight (obviously) and easy to use and fit into a saddle bag of a push bike.
So how big is this saddle-bag Aura? One issue with monopods is that the shorter they are when closed the more sections they have, and the lighter they are the thinner the sections, so to achieve small and light you might find it'll be very wobbly (unless made of carbon fibre)!

What, in addition to me? Still pleased with mine.

Keep saying it, but perfect in combination with Limiteds.

Small, light, great IQ...and disco lights when you need them!
