And actually K-1 is great for what it is what you want it so cheap, is that you are Little cheap. Especial Wien you have bought Sony A7 When it is so cheap, it kind a underlines that. Now D850 is great, but it is also more expensive, where as D610 is what it is...making K-1more cheap does not change much things, atleast on your list. So what bring it up?
Sure when net model eventually comes it changes, but as Kenspo said, there is not much like that to be waited ni near future..
I use my cheap gear because I'am myself cheap guy that like the terrible cheap quality photos I take with it on vacation. Imagine that before the A7 and still available to me I have a K3, ever worse dynamic range, high iso, tonal range... Everything so much worse.
And I even used it with the 55-300... Difficult to go more cheap than me to reach 300mm... I actually had to get near equator to get enough light to get some photos out of that uter garbage... Quality is so bad I am not even sure you'll be able to tel appart the photos of the elephant from the one of gnus...
Seriously, I prefer to get a few day more there in vacations or in Vietnam, Cambodge, India, Icelad and so on than to get too much fancy gear...
Story of a cheap guy with its cheap: A7 + 28-75, K3 with DA15, DA21, FA31, FA77... Only cheap gear. I wonder how most of the forum should feel ? Uterly poor ?
