I’ve been really into photography seriously for the last 10 years. While my current camera I bought new, my last 3 I bought used, as did several lenses. Between PentaxForums, EBay and Adorama-Used, I have gotten some great equipment for a lot less than you would think. The people here have given great advise to many a photographer which is a good deal and what to look for in used cameras and lenses. This is a great resource!
Also consider, many photographers today are shooting for the computer screen, not for large 13x19 prints or commercial applications, so sensor size is not as important as you may be led to believe. So a K7, K5 or K100D will take great pictures, even with a used 18-55mm kit lens. There are a lot of people on this site shooting great pictures with “old” tech and are loving it. Don’t let the techies get you down!

Thank you all for your feedback and advice. The ergonomics part makes a lot of sense, especially in fast paced environments. I love the heft of my K3 and feel the weight helps stabilize it when in my hands. The battery difference is huge and I hadn’t fully considered that: different batteries, needing at least 2 for each camera AND two different chargers AND trying to charge both while on the road. That to me is big! I’ll wait to CP+ to see what happens, it’s only a month away, and if there isn’t much news, its another K3ii.
Again, thanks all for the info!!!

This is my first time posting a picture.... While my wife and I were relaxing in our back yard, this guy flew in and made itself at home in our tree. It was watching us watching him. A reminder (lesson?) as to why I need to always keep my camera ready and handy!:)

I have a K7 now but doing the exact thing your doing and upgrading to the K3ii! I'm looking at both lenses myself. Personally, I'm leaning towards the Tamron due to its fast f2.8 speed and it's a full frame lens, meaning that, with the crop factor, it's effectively a 310mm with your K3! As for weather resistance, a cover from LensCoat is only $79, keeping you under the Pentax 60-250 price. That is my humble opinion.
