I was in the bike shop trying to get my bike repaired and saw some eletric bikes on display and was interested. I dont have a car so my my main means of getting to a photo locations is cycling, wondering if something like this would make it easier to get far affield and up those pesky hills.

I might have another look after reading your post

With sunsets with a flat horizon like you would get in this situation reverse grads (http://www.leefilters.com/index.php/camera/reverse-nd) are supposed to be the way to go. These reduce the light most where its brightests.

I dont get to the sea very often so i dont have any examples of my own.

It may be worth trying this fix for your K50, it does not involve opening the camera and you have nothing to loose in trying. Ive not needed to try it.

I have the KP and love it, its great using it with LTD lenses, The extra dial and the flip screen are good too. It does everything the K3 does and some things like the shake reduction are imporoved. The camera is small in the hand so it is worth considering what type of lenses you will use with it. It does not feel as comfortable with Larger lenses as The K3 or K30 did, using the largest grip helps in theses cases but ist not as big as the K3-K30/K50.

Nah, sorry John, I think it has 'Scene Modes' on the dial. That brings it back out of the 'flagship' category, don't you think ?
The model dial on the kp is the same as the K1 and K3 (Buth with more user modes), this can be seen clearly on the many photos of the KP on the web. I think Jhon is correct that this is a hgher end camera it share much more features such as chasis, autofocus, metering and user interface with the higher end models like the k3 and k1 than it does with the mid range models such as the K70

Pentax have been clear that his is not a replacment for the K3 and is instead a new more compact line (that most Likley fits between the K3 and the K70) which should give some indication to the sort of price we can expect the K3 sucessor to be.
