 Originally posted by fancyqtr  One of the battery contacts got some corroding on it and a guy at a camera store near me scraped that off. The camera store does have used lenses, just not long enough at this time. With a 6MP sensor, you are forced to look for a longer focal length. With a larger sensor (I'd recommend at least 15MP) you can crop significantly with your current lens and achieve the equivalent of >300mm. Some examples on the most affordable end: K20D or K7=15MP K5, K5ii, K30, K50, K500=16MP I also noticed a Pentax 55-300mm F/4-5.8 SMC DA ED on KEH in excellent condition for $130. 9 out 10 times, I'd recommend upgrading the lens. In your case, I'd recommend the camera. If you can live without shooting birds, then enjoy your current gear. | |
