I sort of find the k100d easy to use but thanks for the advise I will take it on board

OMG I think you live in my house I practice with my wife and the kids and am picking up a lot at the moment there is never too much to learn in the field I guess. that was good of you I will keep doing it then.
Please in manual mode with my 70-300mm sigma APO what settings is good for DOF
thanks
I think you need to stop buying equipment, put most of the equipment you already have in a safe place for later and just concentrate on getting to grips with the camera (I recommend the K10D) and the kit lens (18-55) and maybe the Sigma 70-300.
You are trying to run before you can stand up much less walk, and I'd hate to see your obvious enthusiasm for a highly rewarding hobby squashed by trying to do too much too quickly.
Kit's great, but it's what you do with it that makes the image.

I have watched this thread with a morbid curiosity.
Just what are you wanting to achieve?
Is it to take good wedding photographs or buy the gear that you believe will assist you to do this? There is (IMO) a difference.

I hope I am not being presumptious about how experienced you are Spacus, but I think if you are starting out, it pays to keep your kit versatile and be wary about spending lots of money. Also, keeping it simple makes life a lot easier. Concentrate on improving your photographic skills, and you could achieve shots like the cover of John's book with the set up you already have.
I am sure there are a lot of excellent books out there which will help with your questions re settings etc... there's no one correct answer to that sort of question, but a book with illustrative photos will show you what you can achieve... a picture paints a thousand words and all that.
Also why not practise in the house and out in the garden, if you have an understanding partner to act as model... post the shots on here and there will be plenty of advice, you can be sure of that!
