Re: Pentax K-50

I would certainly agree. I just advised a friend who wanted to get into the SLR arena that you can't get more for your money on a new camera than the K - 50. The body is $290 at B&H and you can pick up a used kit lens for less than $80. A great starter camera indeed.

(Keep in mind you could go even less with an older but just as viable Digital SLR. I went with the K-50 to get some video usage something older cameras don't have)

I've had mine for a short while but being a long time Pentax shooter you will get great value for your purchase.

I suggest you go shoot as much as you can before the trip. It's not quite like a point and shoot. There are several videos on U tube that can give you some quick tips as well. Here is a list of some videos that might give you some ideas of what to expect.

Good luck and remember no matter what camera you take you will get great pictures with a little patience and thinking. Enjoy your trip!
