Hi all,

I am looking for a new Pentax DSLR, my K-30 was stolen a few months ago (along with my 18-135) and I have gone without a camera long enough! Prior to the K-30 I had an *ist DS, and an K-200. While I loved the K-30's auto focus and high ISO performance, my favorite by far was the K-200.

I am trying to decide between a K-70, a K-3, or a K-3ii. I think the K-3 and K3ii will give me the heft and 'feel' that I liked with the k-200 along with the top LCD, while the K-70 will have somewhat newer/better technology. Price are $599 for the K-70 body only and $896 for the K-70 with the 18-135 and the K-3 and K-3ii bodies only are $799 and $835 respectively.

The K-3 option for $800 is at a local shop which is nice, but I am not opposed to Amazon or any other place online.

Does anyone have experience with moving from a K-30 (or K-50) to the K-70, K-3, or K-3ii?

I would really appreciate any input that helps me make a decision!!!

thanks!
