 Thanks Boris. I will give her a a camera at some point. She currently has a 
 digital camera made for kids, but hasn't really gotten serious about it. 
 She's much more into drawing and painting. 

Making pictures rather than taking pictures.

 f5.6 @ 1/50th. The K-5's combination of shake reduction and low noise makes 
 almost anything possible. Couldn't have gotten these pics with lesser 
 equipment. And if I had moved in closer, Grace would have seen me, and the 
 moment would have been lost.
 
 BTW, this is the untweaked AWB performance in pure tungsten light. The AWB 
 performance is another plus for this camera.

 And I'm sure the quiet shutter also factored into her not noticing you. So 
 many compelling reasons to upgrade, so little credit headroom. :-/

I agree and photos like that do nothing to help me resist getting a K-5.  I 
know how much easier using the K-r made it to get certain photos, and 
especially noticed the difference when I went back to using the K-x.  It would 
be so easy to say that my credit cards are in such bad shape anyways, a little 
more won't hurt.

By the way how is K-5 pronounced in different languages?

 
 Beautiful light and wonderful candid moments, Paul.

That they are.

Those are definitely two of your best Gracie shots, IMHO  - as she 
doesn't know you are shooting and you had great timing.

I think this one is just a tad better if I had to chose

not better in any objective sense, just something about it is especially 
appealing


one of life's simple pleasures candidate perchance?
