Re: KS2 or k50?

I have the K-r which uses the same shutter mechanism as the K-30/50/S2

From a problem that has occurred in common with the K-r, K-30 and K-50, there was this "dark picture" problem. I don't know if there's anything to do with the "burst speed" of the aforementioned three models, which burst at 6+ FPS.

The K-S2, however, has dropped the burst speed to just 5-ish. Things have yet to be proven if the "dark picture" problem has anything to do with the burst speed -- which translates to wear and tear.

I have just mated my K-S2 with the 16-85 and it's just marvelous. A great combo for a walk-around set. (If only Pentax could come up with a 15-150 WR with equal quality ... dream ...)

Happy photographing!
