Looking at getting a Pentax K-50. some good deal out there at the mo.

However......,

Looks like Ricoh/Pentax are due to release a new model in the spring at the same level as the K50. Should I wait for the new model to see what it is or if the k50 drops in price or just stump the cash and get the camera now?

Just wandering if anyone has any 'inside knowledge' 🙂

There's always a new model around the corner. I would take the savings whilst they're on offer. I doubt the new model would be groundbreaking.

I should really use my K10D more.

I'd buy secondhand, I wouldn't take the first hit on something like this where you can pick up really good secondhand examples for a whole lot less.

I just bought a Canon EOS 10d to play around with from London camera exchange for £30. This was £1500's worth of camera body when new, it's only taken 5000 shots.

I have old skoolish K100D, bought for £62 on eBay, added a couple of lenses including a lovely 50mm manual.

I am sure a newer camera would be better, but this just seems to take lovely images.
