I just pulled the trigger on a KS1 with kit lens this afternoon. Not only has my husband expressed an interest in photography, I've also been wanting another body smaller than my K5 for travel and other times where I'd rather not schlep around a bigger body. I could've afforded the KS2, but then the husband wouldn't have been able to afford to get the electric guitar he's had his eye on for a while.
Even if photography doesn't take with him, I'll still have a great camera!
I'm looking forward to posting the first pics here once it comes.
BTW, I got mine for $329.99 at Adorams--can't beat that with a stick!
