Hi John
The DS was (is) a great camera - I still have mine and occasionally
drag it out for old times' sake...
But the K5, K50 and K500 are all significant upgrades. You won't lose
a single thing with any of them in comparison with the DS.
There's no need for me to add any more praise of the K5 to what others
have already bestowed but here's a couple of reviews of the K50 and
K500 to confuse the issue :-)>

Quoting John <jh.gra...@verizon.net>:
Oh my, I am now really confused. There are k-5, k-50, and k-500
models. Plus there is now a K-5 II. The II is probably what is
causing the price drops I have seen on the K-5. All appear to be an
upgrade from my DS. What experience have people had with these
cameras. Are any or all upgrades from my DS? (Of course they are,
but at what cost?) What features am I giving up that I would miss
beyond comprehension if I purchased a particular camera model.
Meanwhile, my beloved DS keeps grinding out pictures even though
they are not full frame and ????? pixel pictures.
Seriously, are there any reviews of these models that you really
trust.....or distrust?
Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and advice. And I thought
purchasing the DS was a hard decision. I do have a couple of film
cameras if anyone is interested. Respooling B&W film is not all
that bad!
