This Louisiana boy's first real Fall! Taken last year near Woodstock, New Hampshire at Mirror Lake. It was breathtaking and I thought this shot was really neat. I was shaded by trees, so I used a hotshoe flash to fill in the foreground and some of the leaves underwater as well. Thanks for looking!

Thanks to all of you for sharing your advice. I am going to wait until the new camera is released to make my decision as many of you suggested. Sure it isn't the short term gratification I want, but I'm sure it's the best choice to make!

I think the title says it all. There are plenty of great cameras and lenses from many manufacturers, and Pentax obviously is not in the "popular club" that everyone and their mother seems to own. Why do you choose Pentax?

Wow, awesome shot. Did you go planning to take this shot or was it impromptu?

That drive is incredible... I drove it earlier this summer and also took some astro-landscapes at that bridge. Memories I'll have for a long time!

Beautiful! It's so simple but the lighting, color, and framing are all great!

Thanks for the input! When I printed it for the competition I entered, I did make sure to crop it out. I'll try to be more aware next time.

I do enjoy my K-50, but there are a few things I really am not a fan of:
- The build quality is fine, but I'd say it's just fine. It's held up well so I can't complain, but after using the KP for a few days and going back it almost feels like a toy.
- The shutter is loud. I hate using my camera in settings where I don't want to disturb others, I feel like the sound just reverberates in empty rooms.
- The lack of an articulating screen didn't bother me much... That is, again, until I used the KP. It came in handy much more than I originally thought it would. I find myself really struggling to get those low-down shots.
- The ergonomics and size are fine, I don't find myself thinking about it when I shoot at all really. But after I held my friend's Nikon D7300... Man, that thing felt good. It is a bit closer to the size of the K-1, but it just felt so good in the hand. I didn't shoot extensively with it, so I don't know how the size would feel after a few hours, but it just felt so much better than my entry level.
In all honesty, though, I just want a new camera. I know I don't need one, but I'm making money right now and want to treat myself. A big reason why I'm considering the K-1 is because I want to buy this to last another four years or so. I worry that if I go APSC, I'll start getting full frame envy and get that itch to buy another camera after not too long.
You make good points, though. Thank you! I will continue to remind myself that I really don't need to upgrade, but I haven't really treated myself to something that I really wanted since I got my DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 a bit over a year ago (and it was a steal at $300).

Thanks for the input! I think I would be of the same mindset as you: the weight is worth the great ergonomics. Sure, I would probably rather go on a seven mile hike with my K-50 and 50-135 than a K-1 and 70-200, but in general I don't think the weight would bother me terribly much.

Thanks! I did rent the KP (I should have taken notes on my experience), but I'll have to consider maybe renting the K-1 to have some experience there as well.
