My *istD is basically just sitting there. I've tried to tempt my kids into taking pics with it, but they don't bite. If I could get some cash for it, I'd sell it, but it seems hardly worth the bother against the paternal hope for a sudden increase in the kid's interest.
Then on the other hand, the K10D may be phased out before the kids ever get around... :-) I don't think twice about picking up the K10D over the K20D today, though. Both of them are very much adequate tools.
