Hmm.... mentioned possibly selling my K10D once my K3 arrives; however, I just came across IR conversions! I had looked at that years back and forgot about it, but now that I have a spare body I may eventually send that off to get some IR love once my pocketbook recovers. Any thoughts on that? K3 for normal photography, and an IR converted K10D for IR photos...

Pulled the trigger on the K3 w/ the 50 lens! I'll probably list up the K10D for sale, but will probably keep the other lenses for now.

LOL, good point... but Cessna's aren't all that fast moving. I'll usually be doing about 120-140 knots (138-160 MPH), which I think most GPS units should be able to track... theoretically. LOL
I'm watching that Adorama package. How much could I get for selling that flash that comes with it? The AF540GZ I have is probably better to keep and continue using than that one, so that may be the way to go and save a little more by selling off the new flash....

Dang, Thanks for all the feedback! Lot's of suggestions. The GPS isn't a top priority, and I'm a little leery of losing the built in flash as not sure I'd want to drag out the flash for personal family photos....
I was browsing the K3 photo thread, and the crop quality is pretty impressive, so makes getting that package from Adorama all the more appealing.
Other than the GPS (and loss of built-in flash), is there any performance difference between the K3 and K3II?

I currently have the K10D along with the following:
Pentax AF-540FGZ Flash
Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
Pentax DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED
Pentax A 50mm/f2.0
I mainly do personal shooting (no professional photography) along with photos for the fire department I'm on when I'm off duty. I occasionally struggle with low-light at nighttime incidents. (I also will be getting back into flying so will look for a good camera for taking pictures of the ground and such from Cessna's, etc.
What would be your recommendations on upgrades? Body first (which one, I've been looking at the K3 or K3II, and why?) Lenses? I know the base DA aren't the best for low-light, but they've worked 'ok' for now.
Funds are a limiting factor, so I can't buy a K3 and a $1k+ lens for example.
If you need any more details, ask away, I'll do my best to answer so you guys can help with a decision as best as possible.
Thanks!
