Ann, I love this photo. ;-)
The way I have my K10D set up, it works with exactly the same responsiveness and fluidity, if not more, as my Nikon SLRs once did. The only hitch is whether I leave it in AF-S or MF focus mode ... in the latter it is *exactly* the same. You're using a less responsive camera, so the comparison is strained.
