Originally posted by cmmurray I don't know, I can't seem to be able to downgrade. I was spoiled by the K7's awesome build quality. Now only rugged metal cameras with big sensors do it for me.
A bridge camera is convenient but it's just not the same (although I read that the new Canon SX50 has a 24-1200mm equivalent stabilized zoom lens and almost usable ISO 400-800).
I love the Pentax cameras!
I gave my K100DS to my brother, than I gave my K20D to the same brother, now that I got my K-5 I think I lost the passion (and my brother ain't gettin' it!).
When I had my K1000 I shot several rolls a week and it was fun, now it seems not so, maybe it has to do with my age?
I think I jumped the gun (as I always do with some of my hobbies) and dumped to much money into digital. It has nothing to do with buyers remorse because I really like the hobby, it has to do with how good the photographer is.....I think this was lost with the film era.
