i'm still trying to understand what pple mean when they say "i feel restricted by my equipment"... i've stopped telling myself that cos i dun want to lie... i just have BBB urges and i like new toys :bsmilie:
IQ wise, both cameras are capable of great images. u have to be REALLY good (like - edutilos~ good :bsmilie: ) to reach the technical limit of a K-R. and even then, he was churning out really nice pix while he was using it.
anyway, we were just discussing how tough pentax bodies are over at the
pentax equipment disussion. we've taken old K-X out in the rain and into the sea, i've taken the K-5 out in the snow, pple have taken it fishing and rinsed the saltwater off with a bottle of mineral water... K-5 + WR lenses is very, very reassuring.
with pentax, u also get in-body SR so even legacy lenses benefit from stabilisation.
