Originally posted by sont13 I am a diehard Canon person. I have a T2i and a EOS 70D. I had the priviledge to play around with a k-r and liked it. So I was looking to buy a Pentax. Should I get the k-s1 or k-50 or wait?
It really depends on what you want and like.
If you like a small body... there's always the 100D from Canon. Didn't feel to cheap to me... which is surprising being a small Canon.
The K-r had proper video SR, if you enjoyed that you have to bear in mind that the last Pentax to have that feature was the K-5 II. All cameras launched after the K-5 (apart from the II) had it deactivated. Hopefully people have bothered Pentax enough for them to reconsider their decision, and upcoming models are better again.
As for K-S1, K-50 or wait... I would wait. The K-50 is due for replacement in spring, and what we have seen so far looks like a pretty significant jump forward for Pentax. It has WiFi with NFC, it has an articulating screen, looks pretty good (a cross between K-50 and K-S1), etc. Also it will launch with a new kit lens which is really small... I want that. Even if it doesn't end up being what you want, the other cameras should go down in price thanks to it.
The K-3 is a nice alternative, and so is the K-5 II, but I'd still wait for what spring will bring us.
