The Ks2 + 18-135 is now £489 which is a better than the earlier deal if you're after this kit.

Ends in 3 hours though

I like the texture of the mountain, the moon to me is too small in the frame to have any impact.

I went to Tideswell church (also known as the Cathedral of the Peak due to its size) last week and below are some of the shots from that visit.

Sell the K50.
Use the proceeds to buy another low mileage K10 (or K200 if you struggle to find one).
Pocket the difference.
I tend to agree with Andrew, the specs of the K50 match / exceed the K10 by a big margin, I know which I would rather have. Having recently bought one for my daughter, it is a very impressive camera with a bit of weight. (not sure what the contacts for the power zoom would look like otherwise I could tell you, but it works fine with SDM)

I'm not sure how much you'll miss the top plate once you get used to a K50, the bigger downside to me would be the shorter battery life compared to my K5 but cannot remember how it compared to my old K10. (although the AA adapter can help with that).

SRS have a low milage K10 for £129 as well as 2 K20's for £169 -199. You'd probably get £250-275 for the K50 - got mine for £230 off ebay for a mint one with lens and low 640 shutter count (from a retailer they're about £300-330 without lens)).

By all means go back and push for a K5, alloy body, top plate, grip compatible, battery life but I wouldn't be upset with a K50 if thats all they offer - they seem to be replacing the lens and flash gun with no problem and I'm not sure how the excess comes into effect with the K50.
