If you are a nervous Nellie, go with Sony

Pentax is for the bold iconoclasts.  You have to have the stomach for it. Great gear, but you'll get zero respect from anyone.

So was Sony in 2009/10, and up to the current A series.  But no more.  Sony is thoroughly mainstream, now, and rich in variety.  As a Nervous Nellie you can bounce around within the Sony ecosystem with plenty of choices up and down the scale of size and resolution, with excellent video thrown in.

I am all in with Pentax now, and extremely happy.  Formerly I was with Sony, and I love Sony----think they are wonderful.  Lots of great innovation, good prices, what's not to like.
