What do you love to shoot with? That is the question.

You could always buy a secondhand or refurb K3 Mark II, K70 or KP to keep your Pentax lenses in play. I’ve seen good examples here for way below their sticker price. Then take another look in a year. By that time Canon and Nikon may well have launched new mirrorless lines and the camera world will have changed. It’s in flux right now.

Landscapes like lots of resolution. Street and candids like small fast-focusing cameras which don’t put people off. Probably the same for travel. Two different things, perhaps best served with a single all-rounder system but which is a compromise or two different systems run in parallel.

In my experience no camera kit lasts all that long these days. Buy it for pleasure but forget thinking about it as an investment or the long term. The stuff just isn’t made to last in the way it was back in the day and the companies are skittish with it.
