Hello,
I've shot with my k100d for just over 10 years and it finally is having issues firing. I've still been happy with it for the most part but I am excited to upgrade for sure! I am looking at the k-5ii or k-5iis, those seem like very solid cameras. Also gives me an excuse to learn a little more about wonderful pentax lenses!
Cheers!

Welcome from a few miles north of the Columbia

I started with a K100d myself, feels like I've tried everything since then too - at least once.

Good luck selecting your upgrade path, enjoy the journey!

G'day and welcome to the forums. 10 years is a good run for sure, but I expect you'll enjoy the next step too.

Good luck with the upgrade.

Hi no_sunrise. Welcome to the Pentax forums. As Tas said, you have had a great run with your K100D. Good luck with whichever of the K-5's you get, all solid performers. Good to have you aboard.

Hello and welcome to the forums - glad you could join us

Sorry to hear your K100D is finally giving up. There's a K-5II just been listed on our marketplace - in excellent condition, with less than 900 shutter actuations. Might be worth a look

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! I purchased a k-5ii from the marketplace here and I cant wait to get out and start taking pictures again!

**BigMackCam** · 09-28-2016, 09:55 PM

Fast work!

Congratulations, I'm sure you'll love it

Welcome to the forum, I can just see Mistress LBA over there in the corner, smiling with just a glint of teeth.
