I was wondering whether should I go for k-5 or a mixed system. What are the advantages of the mixed system. Disadvantages are obvious that lenses / flashes will not be compatible and hence would like to know about advantages.
Also, being a Pentax guy if I go for mixed system (adding Nikon or Canon), which one would be better. Nikon has greater register distance so my M42 lenses may not be directly usable on Nikon but possible on Canon.
While I love Pentax, I live in India where market is dominated by Nikon and Canon and Pentax support and marketing is ridiculous (may be I can write a separate post on that). Currently, I am eying on K-5 but D7000 also looks good and I am sure soon a new Canon body.
Idea I am toying with is that there are some pretty good zoom options on Nikon/Canon compared to Pentax so zoom with N/C and my existing primes with K-x.
Just wondering!!!
