Originally posted by Rupert There is a K5IIs + Grip over in the Marketplace this morning for a bargain price. If I didn't have the K1 on order I would snap it up fast! My K5IIs was badly damaged in an accident, but it has been the best Pentax I have ever owned. Just superb!
Go check it out!

I did put a budget on my original post.
Otherwise people would ultimately suggest the K-1, I'm sure
Again, my budget is around 300 dollars.
Originally posted by paulh I'm kind of in the same boat as you...I'm using older bodies (*ist D, K10D), but will be looking to upgrade eventually. I'm not in a hurry and can sit back and wait for a nice deal to come along. I'm avoiding the K-30 and K-50 for the reasons you mentioned. I almost pulled the trigger on a K-S1 during the holidays when Samy's was blowing them out for $200 after rebate. At the moment, I'm gravitating towards a K-5, or newer variant if the price is right. The K-S2 also looks like a worthy contender, although I really prefer the flagship bodies. But it has a nice feature set, and seems sturdy and reliable enough.
That is what I'm trying to decide - get newer and better sensors or older flagships?
Originally posted by paulh Good luck whatever you decide. I thought you got some great images from your K20D, btw!
Thank you
And you get great images out of your older bodies as well, for sure!
