Geez, the Leica thread turned into an "everybody sucks" thread. Here's a photographic opinion question for the combined wisdom of the list.
OK, so the last time I saved up money I ended up buying an E-P1 and a Lumix 20mm 1.7. Combined with the macro 50 it's my walk around Disney World, etc., kit. I just did a major culling of the Pentax gear and only have the FA20-35, FA50 1.4 and the FA135 2.8 left. I need a new main body (I do have the *ist D and Ds left but not what I want to go with). The Kx and K7 should be coming down a bit in price because of the Kr and K5. I have about $900 but the Kr looks a lot like an upgraded Kx with the same sensor. I can go with the Kx and get a couple of kit lenses for about $100 extra (the 18-55 and the 55-300) or just blow it all on the K7. there are lots of advantages to the Kx but the K7 might make a better compliment to the E-P1. Also, this body has to last a bit. Since I'd like to start spending future funds on lenses, especially since I'm now keeping two kits. Thoughts? BTW, any opinions about how long I should wait for the "best to within $100" Kx/K7 price? -- Steve Desjardins -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
