I preferred how the istD set manual white balance, but the K10 AWB is very good, and the manual white balance is almost overkill. The faster write speed and bigger buffer compared tot he istD is nice most of the time, not so nice when shooting lingerie models since there isn't the excuse to stop and enjoy the scenery while the buffer empties. > > 2.

It's great if you shoot a lot of portaiture. It also holds a spare card...... No comments on the other questions as I have no experience with the 3rd party batteries or 18-55 lens.
