I got the same, k-r and twin lens kit today sooo excited about it, but completely clueless! Once I have read through the manual, I will have to start learning about different lenses and what they all do, I have such alot to learn

I just got my k-r today (YAY!) after much debating and ummm'ing and ahhh'ing it was between a canon and this, but I decided that the k-r was the one for me but I read many reviews, some positive and some negative (and some bloody awful!)

As for whether I am delighted with it or not, I don't know yet, its my first dSLR and my first Pentax, and tbh I have no idea how to use it so a steep learning curve over the next couple of weeks for me I think!

Awww Mike Finlay is gorgeous and that is a lovely photo of him! Very expressive face he has, please give him a hug from me

I hate thinking I could have got it cheaper, but I am happy with this so, all good! I am notorious at being able to stretch money til it snaps, but then again I am a 'Yorkshire Lass' don't want to feed a steroetype but.....in my case its actually true!

That lad over there in my avatar pic *points left* is one of my woofs, you will be seeing much more of him and my other two as well as my lil snakey I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't resist taking pics of their pets

I am happy with myself and yes I will post pics too once I have got to grips with it. I am sure I will be asking loads of questions too, and at first you may be seeing lots of pics of my dogs lol! I am looking forward to being able to catch shots of them when they in motion without looking at the results and saying 'oh that would have been a great shot if it wasn't blurred' I do know by the way that a good photo isn't just down to the camera of course!

<<< That one there in my pic, you will see lots of him and my other two!

I have bought it and am getting it on Saturday thanks for your input everyone it is appreciated. It echo'ed my own thoughts of offering around £300. I only paid a little more than that but it is for the camera, and two lenses (was the twin lens kit) IR filters and hood. All boxed in as new condition, only 8 months old including Saturday morning delivery so I don't think I did bad. Looking forward to getting my new toy and learning how to use it now!

Thank you Mike

Yeah I see what you are saying, and I have actually done all of the above I have so far spent many hours researching different camera's before deciding I wanted a kr, then many more hours after that so I do have an idea of what I am planning to offer, I just wanted some other opinions really from people with probably a little more insight or knowledge than I have. Of course I realise that is is subjective and prices are constantly in flux even when buying from new, let alone for used kit. I think there is point in someone saying 'I think it would be worth X' if that is their opinion. Oh well, I feel daft now, just wanted peoples opinions and input really. Never mind

Hi all

I hope this is in the right section (please be gentle if its not!) but I was wanting some of your sage advice please. What would be a good price to offer to someone selling a used K-R with 18-55mm lens and 50-200mm lens (bought as a kit). I have seen one for sale, in apparently excellent used condition less than a year old. I don't really know the second hand market very well yet and don't want to offer too much!

Thanks in advance I WILL get my camera!

David I'm good with black it goes with anything I have seen one for £350 with the lens kit, I think thats a pretty good price so I maybe will go for that. Just need to get a bit more fund-age in and I'm there

Thanks for that Michael the one I saw was a brilliant £329 new they do have others for £349 though but I don't know what the warranty is on those
