And surely there must be some nice things about your A58 that you like
Hi JinDesu,
I had the K100DS, K200D, K-x and LBA that was getting pretty bad! ;-) I left photography in 2010 due to budget, job re-training for a year, etc.
What I miss about Pentax:
- the OVF.
- the amazing older glass that is more abundant and less expensive (didn't realize how much Sony/Zeiss names add to the price, which is my fault for not looking into it more)
- the color/tones
- the feel of the camera and menu structure
What I like about the a58:
- in-body IS (like Pentax)
- the sensor is excellent
- they do have an amazing DT 35mm, 50mm and 85mm lens but I really do not want to invest in Sony.
What I dislike about the a58:
- laggy EVF in low light / indoors
- button positions
- plastic mount
