Hi,
My name is David and I am happy to be here. I'm on a tight budget so I just bought a K70. I like that. It's a big step forward and I like the comfort. I am sure I will have many questions. I am very happy, I intend to learn and share a lot here, which gives me the motivation to be a good member of this beautiful community. I hope to get along with everyone.
Cheers.

Welcome to the forum!
I'm definitely glad there is still that budget option to get into K mount. If you wind up needing additional lenses, shopping second hand is a great way to save money in that department.

A warm welcome from Greece David.

Hello David! Greetings from Poland. Purchase of the K-70 = you started right. Good luck!

David, Welcome to Pentax Forums!!!!

The one slight disadvantage to Pentax, is that there is not a ton of information about them out and about, like virtually every other brand. So, here are a couple of youtube videos that may help you to get started.

Here is a quick set of videos on getting started with the K70

K-70 Overview Video - Articles and Tips | PentaxForums.com

Now, this is not particularly on the K70, but the prior entry-level body, the K-S2 which essentially has the same features and user interface. 98% of everything still applies, and is an excellent introduction. It's an hour long.

You Tube

Also, Reddit has an excellent free online photo class every year...

Photoclass is starting soon : photography

Welcome to the forum David! Best wishes for your step forward and the year to come. The forum is a great place to grab some stuff and get feedback.

Welcome! I started with a K-50 a few years ago for the same reason.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations for getting the K-70. I bought one a couple years ago and love it. To learn more about it, I suggest getting the e-book by Yvon Baroque for a donation to the forum. Here's the link: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/donations/?ebooks=1&loginrequired=1

I got a copy so I can learn more about my K-x and my K-70. They are very informative and go beyond the manual you get with the camera.

Welcome from New Zealand!
Enjoy the K-70 - its a capable camera!
