Re: Question: Sell K7 to buy K-01?
Only sell the K-7 if youv'e got a K-5. Pentax K-5 beats any camera I've ever owned - exept maybe for a film Leica, which I've sold. To me, the K-01 is supplementing my K-5. K-5 is for going photographing. K-01 is for bringing with me, when I'm out to do other things. Optrio WG1 GPS is for wet event - like kayaking. For studio work I even bring my 67II from time to time :-) Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

I appreciate the advice about KEH. They really aren't my first choice at all, but their email sparked this line of thought. I would certainly try the PDML first. My problem is that the K7 gets almost no use anymore, as I tend to grab the E-P2 or X-10. This leads me to wonder if I should sell it now while it still has some value.

You'll get a better price if you sell it yourself. I've sold a few things to KEH and their buy prices are almost an insult.

If all you care about is image quality, then it's a no brainer Just remember if you like love "live view" you'll love the K-01, if you hate live view on the other hand On 2/21/2012 12:03 PM, Steven Desjardins wrote: This is a real question for me.

It depends on the sort of shooting you do, and how many of the features the K7 has the K-01 doesn't. If I only had one camera I'd much rather have a K-5 than K-01. If you do most of your photography in good light, you probably wouldn't get a lot of IQ improvement going to the K-01 sensor. If you do hand held, low shutter speeds, you'll probably lose sharpness do to the shooting position. If I were buying a camera this week in that price range, I'd probably look for a K-r rather than K-01. Also, Pentax seems to have a bit of difficulty with dot zero syndrome, where there's usually a problem or two with the first releases of new technology. In short, even if I were to buy a K-01 I'd wait a bit and let other people be the guinea pigs, and maybe let the price drop a few bucks. > > -- > 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. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.
Re: Question: Sell K7 to buy K-01?
I would sell the K7 to get a K5, but not a K-01, given the limitations of that camera. I would never sell to KEH. That's like giving it away.

Re: Question: Sell K7 to buy K-01?
Makes a lot of sense as long as usability is not a priority for you. Also, don't understand selling stuff to KEH. It's like getting Pawn Store prices for your equipment. It's not like there aren't easy avenues to put their profits in your own pocket.
