Originally posted by millarg I am thinking of upgrading from my KR. The new K3 is a little too pricey for me so, should I get the K5 II or the K50? Most of my pictures are family type photos. Some are of grandchildren playing sports, mainly hockey and soccer, so focus tracking is important to me. Low light, high ISO performance is also important for shooting at the rink and indoor family stuff. I also take my camera when traveling, so weight and size is somewhat important as well. I do take some video but I am not serious about it. Thanks for the help.

PS: I am also looking at the Sigma 18-35 F1.8.
I would go for the K-50 as it's a bit more modern in live view / video mode, plus it's a big upgrade over the K-r in other areas like the viewfinder and weather sealing.
