I posted over in the Welcome section and received a lot of nice feedback and great advice.
Ask questions and take your time was one that stuck with me. Take you time is more difficult for me, but I'm learning.
Based on the the feedback given by some I went used. I found a nice used Kit on Ebay, seller 100% feedback out of Japan and took a chance. K-70 with Pentax 18-135 listed as mint( as new).
Received it today see pics,
Pentax K-70 - Google Photos and it as it appears, it really looks brand new. Everything, not a scratch anywhere, Nada. Fired it up took pic to check shutter count and just under 4k which I think is pretty good. Based on serial number it looks like maybe mid 2017. Overall very pleased . I'm am working though confirming everything works. Did take a few quick shots and I did not see any issues with dust, fog, fungus or anything like that on the camera or lens.
My questions would be should I reset the camera back to scratch so I am working on a clean slate for making any changes? I would think yes.
Anything else I should check? I have seen a few " what to check on used camera"
When is battery fulled charged? Does green light on charger go off?
Should I reset the camera then update the firmware to latest version? That would make most sense.
Looking forward to starting the journey.
