Good day, this is my first post. I am a previous Nikon user(novice) and I was able to get for free my pick of a Pentax or Nikon camera. I would have had to have waited longer if I wanted to get the Nikon D7000,my so-called dream camera but instead opted to get the K7. I had the D70S before I got saltwater in it(never bring near the ocean even for that family pic
). Ive been without a cam since last summer-ugh!
Anyway, I have been going back and forth between what camera to go with. I liked the features of both and even had three Nikon lenses( inexpensive versions) but decided to take a chance with the Pentax and build a small system.
I basically take pictures of my family, primarily of my 1 yr old boy and six yr old boy. I also takes pics of just about anything ie. nature, vacations and whatever appeals to me. I don't even have a lens yet and am allowing myself about a budget of about $250 to get started quickly and to procure a couple more soon as well.
Does anybody have any ideas for that FIRST lens?? Prime or 18-200 mm etc? I'm not so sure about the 18-55mm, pic quality is kinda important. Also, I'm willing to learn as I go.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. This seems like a nice place to be. Bill
