As do I.  In fact I'm not too keen on the full-auto-focus mode at
any time; I've got a whole stack of shots where *something* is
nicely in focus, but it isn't actually what I wanted.  The K10D
may focus faster, but that's still no help if it's focussing on
the wrong thing, and I rather doubt the K10D uses significantly
different auto-focus point selection criteria than the *ist-D.
