A question: Is it true that the K10D only offers ISO 100-1600? (no over ride to 3200 like the D)

Bill, My li'l ol' Sony uses LithIon bats, and I've been very happy with them. The camera came with a charger and cord, and I suspect the K10D would have both as well. I can't speak to the charger being able to use current in India - however, a quick email to Pentax should solve that issue. Twice in the past few months I've contacted Pentax on DSLR questions and their response has been both timely and helpful. I assume there are people outside the US who are using the same current that is found in India, so proper charging gear should be simple to find. Also, most well equipped travel shops carry current converters. Pentax claims about 500 shots on the LithIon bat with a % flash use. I suspect you might get as much as double that based on how you shoot and if you don't "chimp" too much. You will probably use the LCD screen a bit in the beginning, but once you become familiar with the camera, that use should substantially diminish.
