The Pentax k-m or k2000 (import or retail) has been recommended.

I am thinking of buying a digital SLR. A friend of mine strongly recommends the Pentax k-m (import) because the camera, he says, is excellent and the price cannot be beaten.

What is your opinion of this camera? I can afford more money, but don't want to buy more than I need. However, I do want the opportunity to expand. For example, I like your description of continuous focus. In the future I might want to photograph more action. Is this the camera for me? I'm upgrading from point and shoot.

By the way, your 4 point guide is fabulous. Many thanks.
