Originally posted by UpNorth That's what I did with my K10 when I got my K20. I've found that once I have 2 bodies, it would be awfully tough to go back to just 1. Between the time/hassle saved with not having to switch lenses and the versitility of having two different lens options available simultaneously (not to mention the drop in probablitlity of the sensor getting dirty because you're opening the camera up to switch lenses "in the field") I found that THAT was worth way more than the small amount I'd get in sale/trade of my old body.
Just a thought.....

Now, in such conditions I have the 18-135 on one camera and the 60-250 on the other, and i don't even think about lens changes...or primes.
Yep, that's true too. When I moved my mental paradigm from "Back-Up" camera body to using "Dual Bodies", is when I realized that using 2 cameras automatically creates a back up, and after working with 2 bodies actively, you'll never go back!
2 K5 cameras working together is sublime!
