Looks cool flash bouncer for built in flash. Must be some DIY or cheap alternative at ebay to achieve the same, looks like a mirror to me at 45 degrees :cool:

I bought my K-r with 18-55 and 55-200mm DAL kit lenses then I noticed that I was missing shots while changing my lenses. I was taking most of the pics in 30 to 90mm range and changing lenses was very annoying. Also, it was letting dust to settle on the sensor.
Then I got my eye on Tamron 18-250mm, I was lucky to get a new copy of this lens for a very good price(Grey market:cool:). Since then, it has never left my K-r. I occasionally use my Pentax-A 50mm F2 for indoor but 50mm is even too long for taking pictures inside a room (~75mm equivalent)
Look for used/new copy of 18-250mm Pentax/Tamron (optically both are same), if you cannot get 18-250mm Tamon than I would suggest you to get Tamron 28-75 F2.8 and 50-300mm DAL :)

Strange! :confused:
Not sure if you want to get it repaired by service center or use some software to correct that Stuck Pixels - NoFilmSchool |

From what I understand, you want a camera that is good enough to catch moving kids :D
K-r has outlived its life span and there will be a new camera soon (may be with a RICOH label on it:) ), its only matter of time
Since you are looking at entry level DSLR, K-r scores better than D3100 and Canon T2i (even T3i scores less in Dxo Charts). Canon is good if you are doing a lot of videos but its totally up to you what are your sole need to buy DSLR (to me 1080p 24fps doesnt matter, I want to concerned about pictures).
when it comes to low light, no entry level camera can beat K-r :cool:
So you will need fast lens to snap fast moving kids. Although pentax has compatibility with older less, lets be realistic those lens cant be used to catch kids in action, those lens are cheap, good IQ, fast but no AF. The cheapest fast lens is DA 35mm F2.4 and it will cost you anywhere between 175-200$
On the other hand Nikon and Canon does have cheap, fast, AF 50mm f1.8 lenses starting from 135$
So here is the catch, All Nikon and Canon 50mm lenses are not image stabilized, whereas Pentax has in body stabilization, so all the lenses has Image stabilization (yay! :lol:)
K-r prices will drop once a new model comes out in the market. You can wait till then and miss all those precious moments or buy it now :)
P.S : touch wood, but i havent seen any FF issue with my camera, I now own Tamron 18-250 with Kit lenses (if you want I can sell you those lenses to you :D)
