Hi Pentaxians, hope you are all doing well and keeping safe.
Over the years have saved up enough gift cards and bonuses (put into a special Pentax account, about $800) to buy the KP, but never did it. Now that the K-new is about to hit, I plan on waiting a bit longer to see what the differences are. Wondering if anyone on forum has some insight on choosing between the 2.
I only have APS-C lenses (a lot of them, I had serious LBA a few years ago) and currently have a beloved K-r and underused K30. I am a casual photographer at best.
A friend suggested getting a good FF-capable lens (or two) instead, but I have so much overlap I see no reason to add any more.
Cheers!
EDIT (added after a lot of responses): the $800 is not the limit, just what I have set aside towards any new Pentax body. That said, yes, I understand that the K-new will be more than the current or future price of a KP.
I have the 15, 21 and 20-40 APS-C limiteds, no F series.
