I have been using Pentax for about 46 years starting with a Spotmatic F. My K10D has expired and won't power up even with a new battery, so have gone for a KP. I don't really do video so the reported slow autofocus shouldn't be a problem. I intend to get the gps unit and try a bit of astrophotography which should keep me busy.

I hope the KP lasts longer than the K10D (about 14 years).

Welcome from Spain! I'm not far behind new as I've been using Pentax for about forty years. First the ME Super, then the LX, and now the K-70.

Along the coast by Burry Port - just outside it. Thanks, sadly I don't speak welsh but do know a few important bits. Purple is my favourite colour.

Where are you based ?

I'm based in Swansea but work just down the road from Burry Port in Llangennech. But a stone's throw!

It is! Have you heard about the barn owl that has been attracting photographers? just as you leave the pwll park, take the stony track , it's along the stretch of rough grass each evening. I don't have the set up, but that and some wildlife along the cycle track from Pwll to Burry Port / Beach is why i've finally started out with a DSLR - all be it a K100D

Och, thassa shame, though 14 years is really nothing to be ashamed about if you got good use out of it.

Enjoy your KP!
