Once you have the camera set up the way you want it, you'll find you don't use many of the menus or buttons other than infrequently. I mostly use sensitivity, drive mode, and exposure/focus controls ... much as I always did with my film cameras. Other buttons and functions allow more things, of course, but I only use them once in a bit. Yes, RAW format capture poses a serious advantage. I recommend using Adobe's Lightroom environment for image management, RAW conversion and global image processing work. The supplied Pentax software is fairly clumsy and slow to work with.
