Well, this is why the K100 has shake reduction. You need to use a higher shutter speed (not possible in low light) or a tripod and preferably 2s timer or remote release.

I'm not for a moment suggesting that there's anything wrong with the K100D. Everything I've heard suggests that it's very good.
But I do think that getting the best materials will enhance, not detract from, the learning process. There's no point imposing an artificial constraint by choosing something less capable, just to put you under more pressure to improve.
If you care enough about quality, you'll create enough pressure on yourself without asking the equipment to add even more.
I know those horrible plastic things, they just bent out of shape straight away. We were allowed to use round tipped metal scissors or the plastic encased ones. This was in Mexico though where health and safety laws barely exist so it was just uncommon sense stuff.Gashley wrote:

One of my earliest memories is in infant school, trying to cut coloured paper with some completely blunt plastic scissors. They only gave us blunt plastic ones so that we couldn't cut ourselves.Okay, I have realised that I only want the K10D as a new toy.

I love the feel of the K100D and I don't think I'd have lost too much getting that instead of my K10D. The buffer and general shooting speed I'd miss if I went backwards but not if I'd just gone straight to the 100. It is still many times better than an S20Pro.

As everybody seemed to like the last ones so much I've been looking at some of the others I took and applied some of your suggestions to it.
What do people think?

Last time I was travelling by train I saw a few tornadoes. Small ones, all are rare in the UK but becoming more common every year. Didn't have a camera with me at the time though and it was so misty that the contrast in the shot would have been rather bad.
Tried to shoot lightning in the recent stormy weather but it was all over in the next valley.

Apparently a common problem, don't like the idea of things falling off.

I never saw it, and £400 I was expecting between £150 and £300 not quite 400.
