If you suspect that SR not being stabilised may be the cause of images apparently having camera shake, run them through PhotoMe and look for the two entries "SR Result" and "Shake Reduction (Setup)" under the Manufacturers notes section.
"SR Result" should show "Stabilised", and "Shake reduction (Setup)" should show "On".

... I have a pay as you go, mobile, I purchased £25.00 worth of air time approx, five years ago, I still have just under £20.00 credit left.
Which mobile operator are you with? I have an Orange phone on contract and I want to change to PAYG to remove the £25/month fee.

I was surprised to learn that my most used focal length was 7.6mm, which I found more than a little curious since the widest DSLR lens I have is 12mm.
Then I discovered that the images taken at 7.6mm were from my Fujifilm P&S camera.
Not surprisingly, my most used DSLR focal length is . . . 50mm.

Given the conditions, these are 'nice shots' considering that they are a permanent record of part of a holiday that you would otherwise not have if you a: hadn't taken them, or b: deleted them.

I think Pentax are going to be replacing these for years to come.
Is it really Pentax's fault though, or Sony's, the sensor manufacturer?
Are there other cameras using the same sensor from other makers?

I am so close to buying a K5, but K5 problems just keep on cropping up.

500mm on a DSLR has the equivalent field of view to a 750mm lens on a film camera, and there aren't many lenses of that length that us mere mortals can afford.
That said, the DA* 300mm is a superb lens, but I doubt it'll produce much better images, unless you can get closer to your subject.
