Hi All,
One of my neighbors has a Used K-5 with ~5,200 shutter actuations. He's offered it to me with a bag, an
18-55mm AL WR, and a
50-200 DA WR for $350 USD, and I'm not sure what to do.
I've been extremely happy with a recently-bought, new Panasonic G80 and kit lens, and although I have some vintage K-mount glass, I'm not really actively looking to pick up another camera body.
That said, I have a feeling that this could be a deal too good to pass up, and my wife and I might be able to make use of an extra camera in our work (we visit lots of botanical gardens and museums, to take pictures of their layouts and collections items).
I know that lots of forum members still attest to the longevity and capability of their K-5's, and I'm not too concerned about the 16MP APS-C sensor as my wife and I wouldn't be blowing up our pictures to crazy print sizes.
Can I respectfully ask what you forum members might advise? I would also be interested in hearing your thoughts about how the performance of the K-5 could compare with my G80?
Many Thanks!
