Thanks for all the help, and a final decision was made

My friend whom I got into photography with a Canon SX-50 long zoom P&S wants to up his game a little...
His friend is a nikon 5200 shooter with the two kit lenses... and is suggesting the new Kit/combo
I am going to sell him on a K50 with the WR 18-55 and WR 55-300 (he loves the long zoom of the canon so I think the extra 100 on the 55-300 will be less of a shock for him. I loaned him my KX and the kit lenses to try out... that combo comes out in the $650 range
He can borrow some fixed lenses from me, and some old MF stuff if he chooses to go old-school, although he seem very AF centric now.
I think the K50 - plus the WR 18-55 55-300 seems too good to pass up...
Anything I am not aware of on the K50? Any problems?
Thanks

Well my friend decided on the K-S2 with 18-50  /  50-200WR  for $499  from Costco
Not my choice, but he really loves the articulated LCD on his Sony and decided that was the sway point for him.   
Thanks again for all the help
Gus
