Mainly because I will be packing it in my motorcycle. If I do some off-roading, I would hate to take a spill and potentially damage the K70. Thus the thinking of taking the K10 with a super zoom lens, or a small compact P&S with a long focal range/reach.
I'm open to other P&S options. I can find the ZS50 for $100-$150 used. Do you have another suggestion for a good quality P&S, with long focal range, for $200 or less?
Originally posted by tibbitts I assume this is a used ZS50 you're considering; how much are you willing to pay for it?
I believe the somewhat rare 18-300 Sigma is regarded as the best superzoom for Pentax.
Why are you considering a larger and older Pentax body for travel when seemingly you own a better alternative in the K-70?
