Yes, no, and maybe. Advantages: - water and dust resistance - reasonable battery life - SR system can help in low light - fast buffer - many of the lenses you might want to carry are reasonably compact and lightweight
Disadvantages - not particularly compact, and a significant bulk and weight if the vertical grip is attached - Need spare battery or batteries, and/or a charger and cord - can't buy spare batteries at the local corner store If I go anyplace on vacation, my K10D goes along. But this week I was in a meeting on the edge of Williamsburg VA, a historic site filled with photo-ops. For my photography during the couple of hours I had during late afternoons after the meetings had adjourned, I took my Optio 750. If the K10D were truly "all purpose", it would have made the trip with me instead.
