k100d/ ist or maybe something different

Hi, I have done a lot better selling my art online than I thought this week so I may be able to go a little more for a camera, I'm looking at maybe a k10d but I don't know how much they go for. I'm kind of split between going for an *ist / k100d with a bigger/ better lens or trying for a k10d. (still considering the other offers though guys, try not to keep you waiting too long ) It's just the idea of shake reduction/ sensor cleaning etc. although I don't even know if these are that important, if anyone has any advice, or a camera that they are considering selling that may help me decide, I would be very grateful, thanks. jacqui.

How about this one? The Samsung GX-10 is a rebranded K10D, so might fit your needs.

there are a number of K10Ds in the classifieds jacqui...it's a different level to the K100Ds or *ist series, but some people prefer the simplicity those cameras offer...

I'd advise caution re: Samsung models, not inferior to the Pentax but support in case anything goes wrong may not be readily avaialable since Samsung went for their own system rather than follow Pentax.

Hi Jacqui,

Someone on AVForums is selling a K100D with 2 lenses and some accessories: link.

It might be more than you were looking to pay but he may be able to do you a deal without the 2nd lens if accessories I suppose.

Thanks,

Hugh

Hi Hugh, thanks for that, would you believe, just managed to get registered and then 'av forums are down for scheduled maintenance' oh well I will have a look later, jacqui

Looks like it's back up now...

Thanks for that, had a look, seems a bit pricey, would n't want to go to that sort of money for one, oh well I will keep looking.

Take care if looking online, the *ist is a film camera.

oh ok, thanks, I will keep that in mind when looking, I have to say, I probably wouldn't have realised that if I saw one advertised, so thanks, jacqui.

just to clarify, the *istD, *ist DS, *ist DS2, *istDL and *istDL2 are all digital.

yep, got it! thanks.

Do you still have the K-x?

If so everything you are looking at is really a bit of a step backwards. You might be better buying glass or saving your money.

Hi, no, I couldn't keep it, had to get rid due to a bit of a financial crisis! but now things are getting a little better and I figure if I sell my panny fz38 I should be able to fund something, jacqui.

Check out Ffords, Park and London Camera Exchange. Phone them and off them less than they are asking (you can always ask). At least then you would have some warranty.

Jacqi2, you have a PM.
