Many thanks for the advice. I am a little weary about trying a firmware update because of my lack of experience, both with my computer and the camera. Afraid I might "wipe" the existing operating system within the camera and make it useless. I will take Mannesty's advice and try a 2gb card they're relatively cheap now. Again, many thanks
There really is no drama in upgrading your firmware. use a freshly charged set of batteries, download the latest firmware for your camera, follow the included instructions. It only takes a couple of minutes to complete, if that.Many thanks for the advice.

The prcedure is simple.
Format a card in camera, then connect the card to your PC.
Copy the firmware image file to the root folder of the SD card, then put the card back in the camera.
Press and hold the menu button on the back of the camera whilst turning power on the camera.
The rear display will show your current firmware version, and the new one on the card.
It'll ask you if you want to upgrade the firmware, choose yes.
Wait for it to complete. Completion indication on the K10/20D is a flashing card busy lamp (rear bottom right of the camera).
If you are still not happy doing it yourself, maybe we have some other members in your area who can help, or take it to a dealer and ask them to do it.

I think your crop selection is OK. The green background is not ideal for me.
To save cropping and perhaps capture more detail, why not get closer to the subject?

I always used to use the centre point and re-compose, but I've found I've had a much better in-focus hit rate since I started using the selected point instead. Now the camera's pretty much permanantly set to "SEL".
Doesn't the "SEL" position just use the same 'user selected' focus point? If the middle one is selected, there's no difference between it and the centre spot setting.I always used to use the centre point and re-compose, but I've found I've had a much better in-focus hit rate since I started using the selected point instead.

I think this has gone far enough. A ridiculous amount of time has been expended by numerous forum members, with no end result, and almost totally off topic.
Time to lock this one?

Hmmm,
Thanks for the offer Peter.
Consensus seems to be that I wouldn't see any improvement in image quality by getting the mark II.
I might just ask friends and family to lump together for a christmas present and get either the DA* 16 -50 or the DA 16 - 45.
I don't suppose that you have either of those lenses spare that you bought for the cashback offer :wink

I think the maximum capacity is limited more by the card manufacturer more than by the camera. I've not found many decent SD cards over 2Gb to be available (SanDisk Extreme III or similar).
The K110D is a 6MP camera and 2Gb cards are probably the largest I would want to use in it. The bigger the card, the more photos you risk losing if the card gets lost or damaged.
Short answer: Take it to a camera store and ask if you can try some cards.
Update your firmware. There is no reason to delay upgrading as new firmware usually fixes a number of issues.

I have the 150 version and the few shots I've taken with it seem very sharp. I keep it with my 'lightweight' kit for when I don't want to carry heavy macro lenses around.
I don't know what the differences are between the 150 and 250, sorry.
