Back to Pentax, K50 or KS2?

Hi Friends,

I had a K50 until a year or so ago,....still not sure why I sold it?? I'm primarily a JPEG shooter and liked the results I was getting. Looking around the other day, I noted that the K50 body is less than $300 at B&H and only about $500 with kit lens and 55-200mm WR. That's less than I sold mine for on eBay so buying again won't give me a guilt trip. I remember the 55-200 lens was very good.

Of course, you folks know how it goes. I started reading about other Pentax choices and am really impressed, on paper, with the KS2, which is about $150 more with the same two lenses. I like the idea of the articulated LCD on the KS2.

Whatever I buy will be used in the National Parks, large animals etc. I liked the low light capability of my K50 for early morning trips and assume the KS2 will be as good.

Any comments or comparisons, opinions, etc of the two cameras would be appreciated.

Thanks, folks!

Jack
