Which Two?
Hello nzdigital, Welcome to the Forum!
First off, I've never owned a K-R, so I'll just offer a few comments about the K10D. That particular body has many fans here, including myself. There's even a dedicated thread. I honestly believe it's one of the finest DSLR's Pentax has ever made.
Having said that, a body introduced in 2006 is going to have some very serious limitations in today's world. No LV, no video, 2-1/2" LCD, no HDR, 1/6000s top ss, 3fps, 100-1,600 ISO range (if that), five generations of SAFOX behind the K-X, etc. And the K10D was the flagship, state of the art.
It is a truly great-performing DSLR under a specific set of conditions. Scenics, portraits, macro, timed-exposures, landscapes and night photography, working with M/F lenses, black + white. The last, great CCD sensor in a body that's more like a tank, a digital K1000.
It isn't a rapid-fire sports, wildlife or candid shooter- too slow A/F, 3 fps, etc. I don't believe it's anywhere near an ideal wedding body, except as a 2nd body, perhaps with a couple of favorite primes. It just can't keep up as well (in performance) with quicker shooting situations as a newer body would. It's old.
For the # 1 body, I'd aim much higher, or newer. A used K-5 (any) would be ideal, imo. K-30, K-50 would work also, but no B/G available.
In any event, two K10D's would just double the limitations I've tried to point out.
Hope this helps!
Ron
