Thanks for the welcome and advice, I have decided on a second hand K7 with kit lens to get me started until I can get some ltd's, I will wait for all you K7 boys cant stand it any longer and have to get the K5 (will be soon I think, looks nice camera you know you want it).

Thanks for all your replies. High ISO shooting not worried about or fast frames per second. I shoot mainly manual and RAW, and I think the k7 is better as it has two control wheels one for aperture the other for the shutter. I have not seen the kr and what I have seen from pics it only has one control wheel, so does this mean I have to press another button while turning the control wheel so I can change either aperture or shutter, I have to do this on my 350d and I find it very annoying and fiddly.
Thanks for your advice, will be asking for more soon but will leave for another day

Hi everyone, new boy from Brighton. As the heading says I dont have a camera, well not a pentax but have owned many film pentax cameras, at the moment, dare I say it a canon 350d I bought 6 years ago when they first arrived. So I decided to change to Pentax. From my film days I always liked pentax so now I have decided to upgrade. The ltd lenses have had a big influence on this decision. So hopefuly soon I will be a full pentaxian in the near future. Difficult time to change at the moment as there is a lot of choice k5,k7,km or kr !!! Think k5 to much for me at moment as i want at least 1 ltd lens. Anyway nice to meet you all and join in with the chat.
