Any Pentax users here?
Nov 21, 2017 09:35:10 #
My husband and I have owned a K-20, K-7, and K-5. I still have the K-5, and would happily upgrade to a newer Pentax if not for two things: 1) I am retired and have to limit my expenses. 2) I am 70 and carrying all the lenses has become a painful chore, so now I will keep my K-5 for special occasions and carry my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 when I go for my daily walk.

K5, huh, Zudith? .... Love, Love, Love that dig cam ... thinking of getting a used one for just a couple hundred ... good buy, I think ...
Is that your fave, or do you like the K-7 better (or, the K-20) .... ???
BTW, Zudith ... an afterthought ... you keep up that Daily Walk ... that's very good for you - ok?

It's true about the daily walk!
I gave a k-7 to a nephew who is turning out to be something of a natural photographer--he really understands light and the mechanics of the camera and he's just a teenager. It's a wonderful machine.

I like the K-5 better than either the K-7 or K-20. My son now has the K-20 and I sold the K-7 on eBay a couple of years ago. After reading reviews for the K-1 and other newer Pentax cameras I was enthusiastic about upgrading, but not about the cost!
And yes, I intend to keep up the walking (usually 4 to 6 miles a day) as long as I can - and will keep taking pictures along the way!

Good for you, Zudith .... 5 miles a day, huh? .... That's very good. Keep it up .... yeah, I know - almost two grand for the K-1 ... about $3200 if you throw in the zoom .... but, look at it this way - it's STILL the least inexpensive Full Frame camera on the market ... AND highly touted, too!

So, how do you like that K-S2, 14K?
Neat having a vari-angle screen, rather than all of the fixed screens you have on all the others, huh?
What else do you like about it?
