Hi everyone,
I forgot to mention - I recently just got the FA Ltds. A characteristic of mine - OCD about IQ.
Why I asked the question to begin with - I'm going on a long-term trip to Asia this summer and I look forward to taking a lot of photos for my blog, my online handicrafts & arts shop, and publications for an online magazine.

I agree. I do appreciate the fact that K7 will make me try harder to improve. But I'm worried that without the K5, my photography skills will cause me to miss some great shots during my trip.. If I wasn't going on the trip I probably wouldn't have considered the K5 as much.

Wouldn't I lose money anyway, regardless of when I sell it?
I guess I could get the K5 (justified because of the trip!), but then I have to sell the K7 because I don't see a point in keeping two cameras when I'm only a beginner. I'm willing to invest in the K5, but I can't convince myself to keep two cameras!
I guess my question is, if I'm going to sell the K7 at some point for an upgrade, shouldn't I sell it now to recover as much $$ as possible? But then again, is the K5 worth it? Because as many of you say, in about a year another better model will probably come out...
Thanks! You guys are so helpful
EDIT: haha sterretje you got me there
Honestly though, I don't want to get into the merry-go-around of buying and selling and forever chasing the next best thing. I guess I'm just overexcited because of my trip...
