Part of the reason I ask is I often buy at charity sites and it's as much about getting them the money as getting a deal, and if I'm going to bid I'd like it to be on something I'd like to try. I turn over equipment by donating and selling too.

Nice!

Just thought I'd try a classic, and the K-5's seem like the consensus choice. I did recently lose out on an *ist; be fun to try that..

I think the "real" classic digital are the CCD-bodies. The cameras after those get more functional and better at every generation. So you really can't go wrong, just avoid the models prone to the aperture block thing (considering your above motivation, I assume you're not anxious to do repair-work on a cam)

Have fun chasing your next new old camera
