And the person behind the camera counts as much or more than the age of the gear!
A good photographer can make good images with a Kodak Brownie, a bad one can make bad ones with a Leica. Gear gives options, It can't replace talent and work.

If you found that you are likely to need 200mm on your APS-C camera then you would need 300mm when you switch to FF. It's simple as that.

35 mm is close to a "normal" (i.e. 50ish mm) view on APS. A 35mm full frame has always been my favorite street shooting lens, which would translate into about 24mm in APS format. There are a number of relatively fast 24mm lenses of good quality in Nikon mount with APS coverage.

Yes, any time your work is on public display, sign it!

I’m in agreement with most people in that a smartphone is not comparable with a DSLR! Its a total system vs a simple point & shoot.
However the smartphone camera is improving and the tiny lens can be useful when your camera is not with you.

Right, my phone camera basically replaced "quick and dirty" items like 110 pocket cams or later "disposables"
If I'm out and about and the need to go as light as possible, (amusement park visits,and the like) The phone cam is fine because it's the camera that's WITH You that gets the shot.
It's just not about to replace my P&S,(more control than any phone camera..) let alone any changeable lens camera with full manual controls for "serious" shots.

Most phones have cameras, they also have digital voice recorders. I wouldn't confuse the voice recorder in my phone with a $1,000 digital field audio recorder or my phone's camera with any DLSR. It's a physical limitation on the size and movability of the lens. Phone cams certainly do have a purpose (as you almost always have it with you), I use mine many times when an unexpected thing happens (photo or video opportunity), In fact I probably shot more video with my phone this year than stills, but if I even THINK I'm going to be shooting on purpose, I take some "actual camera"- I have a tiny Samsung P&S that's not only as pocket sized as any cellphone, it uses the same charger as my phone - No real inconvenience "penalty" and I almost always have a "real" camera with me.

Wow! Thanks for all the responses. Due to the number of responses, I guess there is STILL a Pentax following. I was hesitant to even consider another Pentax due to what seemed like little interest on the forum, and the lack of cameras for sale. At this point, maybe I have changed my mind. I will look out on the market and see what’s available for a price I can afford. Thanks for the help everybody!

Nikon and Canon get "all the buzz", So does Coke/Pepsi and Chevy/Ford. However Just as there's a fierce following for Dodge and Dr Pepper, Pentax (and Olympus, Panasonic,Fuji and Sony...) have their base.
Between us Pentaxians, When I encounter other Pentax users (or Olympus, etc users for that matter) "in the wild", I always figure that they selected their system on purpose for specific reasons. I don't deny that Nikon and Canon make great gear, they certainly do! I just wonder how many people buy Nikon or Canon because "everyone else does", LOL.
TL,DR: If you like your current film SLR and lenses, stay with Pentax. I'm not giving up my MX as long as 35mm film is made, It was the base of my film setup and that gear formed the basis of my DLSR setup.

B, but the A part fits my processing practice.
I chimp so rarely that I might as well say I don't. With my settings it's useless and a waste of time.
However, I don't wait long periods of time to process what I shot. I usually do that within hours to a day later, at the most.

I'm too cautious, and I doubt it would run all the programs I use. Also, every time I've Googled it, there seem to be so many variations and different versions and installation direction.
There is a bit of a learning curve, and many "distros" one of the good things about Linux is there's a breed for everything from old low end netbooks to the highest end servers. For most users Ubuntu is the most popular however. You're right as ti software, as 90% of personal computers are running Windows, Windows does have (and likely will for years.) have the broadest software library. The biggest photo editing software in the Linux world is Gimp and Libre Office is the most popular office suite, They're free and they also run on Window and Mac OS. Many commercial programs for Windows also have Linux versions, as the car ads say, Your milage may vary.

Windows 10 should have System Restore. You should be able to rollback to a Restore Point before the update.
Yes, you should also be able "downgrade" to previous version for up to 10 days after any Win 10 update. (windows.old folder).
