I did like Picasa, especially the straighten tool so once I hear it is 'fixed' I might install it again

Yes Barrie, one of my bird feeders was blown over, undamaged though so just stood it up again and topped the food up.

How much do people need functionality wise?
Not a lot really for some people. I attended a presentation by Steve Gosling, the subject being Pinhole photography. As far as I could ascertain all that was needed was a box with a pinhole in the front (f/135 ? ), B&W photographic paper, the skill to develop it, and lots of patience

My brother in law, 3yrs younger than me, was the fittest person I knew. Played squash on a regular basis, ran in various marathons, didn't smoke and was very particular about his diet, no fatty 'full English' for him. 5ys ago was diagnosed with bowel cancer and was cremated 2yrs ago. I on the other hand have had completely the wrong diet and general lifestyle although I did stop smoking about 15yrs ago. Have survived a few major things .

... I rarely use my camera unless I am going away for a weekend or more. So I probably only use my K10d a handful of times a year, but when I do use it, I use it a lot.
...I doubt very much there will be much cash left for any trips till the end of 2014.
I would say reading this you've almost answered your own question. Why not wait until nearer the time you will be in a position to "make trips" ? By then you may find the K3 well within reach of your budget, a K5II/K5IIs will most certainly fall into your budget by then. Of course if weight is a problem try something else, pick up a display model of the various offerings to see which suits

I believe you're born with a pre-programmed number of heart beats. I'm not wasting mine on exercise
