Thinking about a new camera,,and the spec on the K50 is appealing to me??i do outdoor pics mostly..landscapes,wildlife,birding?? my wife is happy with her Canon SL1 and 4 STM lens,,i have a few Canon lens but nothing that is alot of $$,i all ready sold my 100-400L and my 25-105L.

The weather sealing on Camera & lens are things that appeal to me,,and prices are much cheaper than Canon??

a K50 and a WR lens combo ??the 55-300 WR looks good at $339.

whats your thoughts and advice??

Thanks Ron

I think you'll find that combo is surprisingly excellent for the money.  The 55-300 is so good that I have yet to try any zoom that outperforms it -- only primes.
