Marnie, unless you absolutely have to have a Pentax, I'd heartily recommend you look at the Nikon Coolpix P7100, a really great little package that has most of the features of a mid to low level DSLR with a lens that goes to an effective 200mm. It's recently out of production but I still see them on the net. Got mine a few weeks ago for around $350.
