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.
Thanks!

Might take a look at what KEH has in stock in the way of Pentax DSLRs.
I don't like their new website much. It's a lot harder for me to drill
down to what I'm looking for.
Still, they have good prices & good quality.
You can always use their classic look and feel website, it's available
through a link on the lower right of the new main page.
Looks like that works. Thanks.
