Hello all, it's strangely terrifying sitting here writing my first post, it feels like the first day at a new school. I'm a keen (but very much amateur) photographer and I am currently in my second year of college studying the International Baccalaureate. This is my first step into the Pentax world having come from a line of Sony NEX cameras which (although brilliant) left me wanting for more control and flexibility over how I was shooting.
So I must admit, i'm not yet the proud owner of a Pentax camera despite having used them at various points, but I hope to be one very soon. I've fallen in love with the K5iis and am keeping my eyes peeled! watch this space.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome!

The K-5iis is a great choice, it is considered one of the best Pentax DSLR's and is fast becoming a classic, you won't be disappointed if you can find a nice one that's been well looked after.
