I am going to be buying my first DSLR. I have a film SLR, and a Pentax Optio A40, but I want to go into the DSLR world now that I am getting back into photography.
I am buying the new Pentax K50 for my wife's birthday/graduation present. It is quite perfect for her needs, except I'm going to get the body and then the better DA WR lenses separately.
As for myself, I'm sort of undecided which way to go:
1) Pentax K50 - then sell and upgrade whenever the rumored K3 is coming out.
2) Pentax K5 IIs - then sell and upgrade whenever the rumored K3 is coming out.
3) SONY SLT-A77 - huge sale on right now.
4) Nikon D7100 - huge sale on right now.
I've been doing a lot of reading regarding sensor size and pixel size, so I'm led to believe that the Pentax K5 IIs would be the better way to go. Or should I start off with the cheaper K50 (I love that cocoa brown/brown version that I can special order)?
Your help would be most appreciated!
