There was an update released a while back for the focusing problem. It has been resolved. BTW: Get the MKIII's full frame.

Yeah the biggest complaint for the SX200IS was the automatic flash every time. I'm gonna wait to see if that has been fixed in the SX210IS before I go ahead an order. Looks like a great improvement in every other area!I'm glad I held out on getting my super-zoom point and shoot! Within the last few weeks Nikon, Fujifilm, Canon, and Panasonic all announced their Spring 2010 models. There are some real good options out there!

I can't make a comparison with the Mk II since I've never owned one but I've used a 7D for three years and the Mk III AF is noticeably faster plus is has the availability of more focus points.

I really dont have any regrets with my camera, and I think dxo mark gave it a better overall rating than the K-3. The only cAmera I would have probably waited for is a full frame Pentax but dont know when that would happen.

I just bought a 40D and I think it is a great camera. As posted, there is not best choice but I am sure if the extra (few) bucks is not an issue, we should go for the 40D. It is also the latest sensor and I found it to be really good. Took some shots and it is great.

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues.Would upgrade from mkII.Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP.But alas, I'll refrain.

I too am looking for a new cyber-shot. I am looking to buy the dsc-w290 but I have heard great things about the WX1, such as the new panoramic sweep mode and cmos sensor. Not to mention zoomable HD video is amazing.Why you should wait however, is that this is the first batch of cameras with the new sensor. It also uses a smaller LCD than the 3.0 inch they started using such as the dsc-w290 and is only 10.1 mp which if you shoot in 16:9 mode, will be even less.Sony will come out with new cameras being announced in January at the CES 2010 show and then you should decide. If nothing substantial is announced, the price for this will have dropped greatly. I too am looking for a new cyber-shot.

Myrna, Have you gotten your camera, yet? If so, what do you think of it? This would be my first digital camera, and what attracts me to this is that it has manual controls. I would be learning photography on it, so I figure I should have manual and auto controls. I am looking to get a Panasonic because a sales person at Best Buy raved about them and said they have the best lenses. To be honest, I know practically nothing about photography, but have had an interest in it for many years. Do you think this camera would be a good plact to start, at least digitally? Thanks, M

It depends. I'd check SN#. I still think Richoh has left the Pentax site as it was. It shouldn't be too hard to discover the cut off date for the motor issues that effected the early units. Mine is fine, but surprisingly my 60-250 2.8 has developed the AF lag. Go figure

No it wont, Canon changed the MarkII just enough so that you have to buy a new one. the new ones have not came out yet. Send Neewer an emsail and see if they have any release date

Nikon has fixed the issues, but Nikon has not ever mentioned any problems either so just double check if you order one. I brought one less then a month ago without any issue tested and passed. It was found that one of the alignment stations was not calibrating correctly and about 20% of the models were effected according to Thom Hogan.

I have had the 17-85 for a couple months and i already want to upgrade.. i want to sell it. i want the 17-40 f4 really bad. i would say unless dont mind about pictures that lack somewhat sharpness i would go with the 17-40. the 17-85 is hard to use i think.. of course unless you want mine ide sell it to you :)

Happened to me once and I return the camera within the 30 day trial period just to be "safe". Spoke to Pentax directly, they advised me to return the camera within the trial period and get a new one. They did offer to try to fix the problem should I decide to keep the camera but that it would take several weeks. The problem with mirror flopping is an ongoing issue with this camera. You can read more about it on Steve Huff's website to get an idea how much of a problem it is. I do agree that it's a fantastic camera in general.

My D40 developed a blurry line in the middle of the viewfinder after about 2 months (or maybe it just took me 2 months to notice it). It doesn't affect the photos, just the viewfinder, but it is a little annoying at times. I'm guessing it's a warp or something like that in the focusing screen. Since I take most of my photos in the Summer and Fall, I don't want to part with it for another couple of months, but after that I plan on sending it in to Nikon to have them check it out while it's still under warranty. It really hasn't been a big deal, and the camera is great in spite of it, but I would like to make sure it's not going to get worse.
