I think that is the trick. Don't let it bring you to a halt. Now is the time to experiment and learn and even compare against your *istD when you hit a circumstance that seems to be out of line. Can you recreate the bad shot (repeat it consistently? If so, try the exact same thing with the *istD). I'm sure the pain of finally getting the body after the UPS fiasco (I can relate!) hasn't made this any easier. But do take the time to be methodical so that you can learn - and then if/when you understand what is happening, then others of us can try to repeat the same thing to see if it is an issue with just your copy, or a general issue with the K10D.
