Congrats! I'll be following suit shortly but I think I will be going the brand new route. Good luck with your purchase.

I just realized that I enjoy photography but never gave it much thought. I remember using an old Canon 35 mm that my dad had purchased for the family in the 80s and was complemented on the photos that I took. I just thought it was luck(and probably was.)
Flash (no pun intended) forward umpteen years, my daughter has taken an interest in photography and I've adopted it in a small manner. She plans on continuing the classes in high school using mainly 35mm cameras.
In researching a camera, I've narrowed down what I would enjoy taking photos of, or would like to. I would enjoy outdoors, the sky and architecture. Living in my area doesn't allow for much wildlife or starry nights, but landscapes and architecture do exist. I believe with all this gibberish said, I believe I will be getting a K-70.
Looking amongst all the ads, facebook groups etc all the recommendations are, for the most part, the same. Best available for cash available. As far as brand names go, it was a normal Canon this, Nikon that, Sony if...etc. Not bashing them in any way, but I to me something was missing, if that makes any sense. I then came across a site dedicated to astrophotography and it listed the names above but threw in a mention of Pentax.
I looked at the K-70 and found that it offered something that, for my interests, was a no-brainer...the weather sealing!!!
This lead my down a rabbit hole of, nah, get the K1, no get this, but in reality im a beginner and the K-70 appears to be just fine.
I think the the icing on the cake was a video posted by Adorama or B&H on New Years. It was a comedy of two cameras outdoing each other and then looking over and seeing Pentax there just watching them.
So, in summation of this run on introduction, hello and thanks for reading.
