I'm not enjoying the benefits of the kit because I don't seem to see the angles that produce the great shots I see online; because however careful I try to be with my settings I never seem to get the image quality that friends seem to get with their Panasonic FZ1000s or even smartphones; I don't see the photo opportunities that others seem to; and I forget the simplest things. Even photographing my items for sale today I forgot to dust the stuff first. I find it difficult even to follow the manual. For example there is a great thread about using the K3ii's multiple exposure facilities to avoid the need for ND grad filters but when I tried to follow the instructions and the specific settings my camera only fired once rather than the number of times I'd requested. I'd tried the Forum settings in burst mode, single shot mode, with and without self timer. Same result. Maybe I'm just too thick as well as lacking creativity..

The camera was bought on 23 January this year, the rest on 1 February - all from the Pentax dealer in Conway, North Wales (receipts available).
I am selling the camera etc because I realise now that I’ll never be the photographer I'd hoped to be earlier this year. This kit deserves to belong to someone with the eyes to exploit its real potential.
It's been an expensive mistake but I feel that it would be a mistake also to hang on to expensive stuff I'll never be able to use properly. At least this way I'll recoup some of my "investment".
I'll either buy a bridge/compact camera more suited to my skill level or stick with my K50 and kit lenses.

The GR also seems to get better reviews than the GRii - but there was some mention of a possible GRiii coming.
