Just wish there was an inexpensive underwater housing for this baby...
Am I right in thinking you'll need an entire separate backback to haul batteries around?
The AAs are a plus for me. I have a nice SLR-like Canon that I no longer use thanks to its expired proprietary battery (expensive to replace). I should have no such problem with my Pentax. It loves Eneloops, which also work great in my mounted flash unit, so if I have my flash with me I also have a ready set of spare batteries.
Otherwise it's really a very nice entry level DSLR. Picture quality is great as well.
Use Eneloops. I've had a couple of sets that I've been using since 2008 with the camera, they still hold a very decent charge.
Cheers,
