While he hasn't joined the forum (yet), I've brought one more into the world of Pentax. The son of my ex-wife's sister. I've stayed in touch with some of them over the years, and when she saw the pictures I'd been posting on FB, she had him send me a friend request, as he had been interested in buying his first camera. While I did explain how happy I was with my K-50, I was sure to talk a lot about the other two brands, as well as make sure he couldn't just be happy with an advanced P&S. The last thing I wanted was for him to feel like he made a bad call, well, for some of the reasons documented in this thread. He caught an Adorama deal on a K-50 body about a month ago ((think he paid $396.99). I told him to get the extended warranty, which he did (wish there had been somebody at the camera shop where I purchased mine, to have told me that...) I've loaned him my kit 18-55, and a DA 50 -- and he's having a lot of fun learning. And like myself, he couldn't give two sh*ts about what other people thought -- so long as the camera was reliable, and could get the job done. The price was great for him, as he's a 21 years old student, and doesn't have a well-paying job yet.
