A person of any age should not 'outgrow' what is a basic operating aspect of a camera. OK, if you want low-light capability and you're finding the camera's not meeting your needs, understandable. In this case, of Boris's daughter and the K10D, we're talking about AF accuracy. Maybe if she's a 9 year old shooting F1 or large flocks of migrating hummingbirds I can understand outgrowing it. :-)
As stated earlier, it still could be operator error. I'd check that the AF point is set to center and not allow the body to pick it, as 9 times out of 10 I find the body cannot anticipate where I want prime focus to be in the scene.
