My K100D is running itself into the ground. There is something wrong with the viewfinder that I can't fix (hard to see through, something inside the viewfinder itself). Pictures still come out great, although some hot pixels here and there.
I think I can start to scrape together some funds for a replacement. Current versions of the Pentax SLR line (prices from B&H)... K500 - $400 (kit) K50 - $450 K5 IIs - $700 K3 - $1200 Since I'm on a limited budget and already have multiple lenses, I'm looking at a body only to save a few dollars. I know all are an upgrade over my 7+ year old K100D. I shoot family gatherings, kids sports and landscapes. I don't think I want to get into video, so that portion of any camera is of limited interest right now. My question really is do I spend more on the higher lines or stick with a lower level camera? Right now, leaning towards a K50, but wondering if I should scrape up more funds and go with the K5 IIs. Just looking for your thoughts as I jump into online reviews my decision making processes.
