The K-50 is still available new, and it's a bit more traditional than
the K-S2. No blinky lights, less capable, (or so the advertising
puffery implies), video, and no extras to make selfies better. However
the 18-55 kit is under $400.00 at B&H Photo, (probably the same almost
everywhere), body only under $300. If you're looking at the K-01 as an
alternative, the K-50 is an obvious choice as far as IQ goes.
From what I can tell don't give up anything in image quality, to K-S2.
Hell it's weather sealed. If I didn't already have a backup body, I'd
be giving it serious consideration especially at that price.

It's all arrived and tested. After years of playing with so many Pentax bodies
and lenses, this is my favorite Pentax kit of all:
https://flic.kr/p/AfvZpS
Pentax K-01 Marc Newsom in Yellow
FA43mm f/1.9 Limited in Pewter with Voigtländer 75mm optical finder
DA21mm f/3.4 Limited in Black with Voigtländer 35mm optical finder
It's exactly what I like to shoot with, fits in a tiny bag, weighs almost
nothing, and makes very very nice photos!
All Hail the Pentaxian!
Sounds fine. Hope you enjoy it & get some great shots.
My rig is rather similar. I have 21 Limited & DA 50 1.8. My current
body is a K100D, but I want to upgrade when budget allows.
I was thinking K-S2. Compared to K-01 it is over 100g heavier, but has
a viewfinder, articulated screen & built-in wifi. Of course I could
look for a K-01 instead & that would likely be cheaper. Does anyone
have comments on the choice?
