The 18-55mm kit lens that came with my wife's camera.
Yes, I was blown away by the response this question got. I think I'm going to like it here.

SMC-M 50mm f/2 and SMC-M 80-200 f/4.5. Mostly just had the 50mm prime on the camera since the only place I've had to use it is in the house. I'll probably use the zoom lens when I'm out fishing to shoot things like alligators sunning on the riverbank or wading birds and such.

Well, I went with a *ist DS with two manual focus lenses. That gives us three different lenses to use between the two cameras. So far I am enjoying the learning process although I haven't really had a chance to get out and really shoot with it. Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

... do you ever get annoyed not being able to see how the shot looked before developing? As someone who hasn't used a film camera in twenty years I would think it would drive me nuts.

so I am new here, my wife decided she wanted a dslr and after research we went with a k-50 since it seemed to be more rugged than the competition at its price point. After doing research for her camera it turns out that I want one too.
Anyway, we are a mid (late in my case) thirties couple with a five year old that want to take better pictures. We have a lot to learn and hopefully we can get some knowledge here and maybe pass some on once we figure out what we're doing.

My wife opted for white for her k-50 but that red is sexy.

Thanks for all of the replies. That ks-1 deal looks really good but sadly after spending ~$400 on the k-50 for my wife, spending $300 more before the rebate is not really an option. Really I'm working with a budget of $100-$150 which is why I was asking about the older models. I realize that budget won't get much, but I don't want to spend a lot of money until I know it is something that I will stick with.
It sounds like I should be alright starting out with one of these older camera bodies but I may wait until I have a little more money to spend. It depends on how impatient I get.

So my wife wanted to move up from a point and shoot to a dslr. After researching cameras for a few weeks we decided to go with the pentax k-50 with the 18-55mm kit lens. It should be here Tuesday. After doing weeks of research I realized that dslr photography is something that interests me as well. My wife is not one to share her toys, (nor should she have to), so I will need to get a camera for myself.
I don't want to spend new camera money again on something I just want to try out and may not stick with. I have found several *ist D and k-100's for sale with lenses for around $100. My question is are these cameras still good to learn on or are they so out of date that they aren't worth bothering with?
