Please tell me how happy you are after using your K-50 for some time now. Do you wish you had paid more and gotten (or waited for) the K-5iis or the K-3? Thanks in advance for your time!

No way, I came from a K20D and the K50 is an awesome camera. Excellent Sensor and Processor give great image quality. The camera is equal to the K20D in build quality and feels durable in your hands. The K3 has more noise than I like, too may pixels . My shooting style uses iso 800 a lot and the K50 is cleaner. Good little camera.

I am very happy with the Pentax K50, I bought it because it was in my budget. It works very well and has excellent performance. The K3 is better, faster and more resolution, but with the K50 have enough for what I want. If you have the money for the K3, buy, worth it.

I'm very pleased with the K-50. Actually, I think that the price I paid was a bargin. I'm still getting to "know" the camera however, so far, it's everything I expected.

Both my K-20 and my K-5IIs were assembled in the Phillipines. The K-20 gave me over four years of flawless service, under rain, in dusty desert and in temperatures from -10C to +40C. I have no reason to doubt the K-5IIs will follow its footsteps, where-ever it was made.

I own the K5 and the K5IIs. There is very little reason to upgrade from the K5 to the K5II as the differences were just to minimal. So my answer is to go for the IIs. As far as moire concern, I have found very little, under only extreme circumstances where it even showed up and it was correctable with careful use of software. I use * and limited lenses only, and the results are fabulous. Of course my portrait style is to use shallower depth of field, so the moire for that wouldn't be much of an issue anyway.Good luck with your decision.

I really didn't consider K-3 or K-50. The K-5IIs is a very nice camera that takes fantastic pictures. Its sturdy and extremely well built and feels like it will last. Shutter has a nice crisp sound and feel. Would maybe have been nice to have Wi-Fi built in, but I bought Eye-Fi SD card and that works reasonable well as well.

I have the k5, k5ii and the k3 and I love the K3. I have no regrets for buying it and would do it again.

Solved! I asked this question in another Pentax forum, and this is what I found out: The kit lens in this bundle is actually the THIRD generation of the 18-55, which was released at the same time as the K7. So - an even better deal than I thought!(Or so I suppose. Haven't seen a review of the new kit lens, but it is unlikely to be a downgrade from the last one, I'm sure!)

Thanks Dave,I was just thinking yesterday . . . "What I need is to get out of this Sony and back into a Fuji!" I am looking for the one with the nuanced blacks, grays, browns . . . the Sony renders all darker shades of the above as "BLACK!" C'mon, give us some depth, Sony! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!I had the F-10 once and color-wise it was great. Anyway wonder which $400-$600 Fuji now gives most detail in dark color areas?

Hi CB,I am looking at KEF's at 6ave, they have some great package deals. Did you consider the KEF 3005 before deciding on 5005? I am confused between both. Price difference is three hundred dollars.ThanksB

Quite happy. I had a K10D previously (still have it as backup) and have a pretty good complement of lenses because of that. I feel like I am getting more out of the other lenses because of the K-3. I was out shooting with the long lens (300-500mm zoom) last weekend, and saw the benefits. Still feel like I am on learning curve, but have no regrets.

I would maybe look at the Tamron 70-200 f2.8. Folks who shoot it on the K3 are pretty satisfied with the auto focus speed, it is sharp wide open and probably the cheapest you will find in that range.

Yes, my old K-mount lenses work fine with my K-50. However, you'll have to experiment with exposure settings and manually set the f-stop and shutter speeds (plus manual focus of course). But it's a great advantage if you already have some old high-quality lenses in your kit.

I've been using the KomputerBay cards in my 5D Mark iii and I've had no issues shooting weddings and portraiture. I tend to overshoot and thin my pickings, so I average about 1,000-1,200 pictures per wedding and I've not encountered an issue with the three KB cards I have. Can't say that I won't ever have an issue, but thought it was worth commenting.

J. McCamey- I am also leaning towards the K7 over the D90 and have found the same things to be true as you have stated. If possible please give us insight as to your purchase after you have had the opportunity to take some pictures.

Pentax K-5II autofocus is excellent. I locked myself in a dark closet to see how good it was and I was able to focus and shoot pretty fast. I moved from a Pentax K20D and had the same issue with the camera... loved the pics but the autofocus sucked. I know people who have moved from the Nikon 60D and Cannon 5D to the Pentax K-5ii impressed by the AF speed. Hope this helps. Good luck!

LOL! Sorry, I just read the specs and it doesn't say anything about working with a K-60. I have a B-30 and it works fine. For a few bucks it doesn't hurt to try and you can return it if it doesn't work.
