Re: Pentax K50 grip squeeks

That is a plastic body, 7 years old.  You are hearing a minor squeak of plastic against plastic, probably because the grip is hollow to accommodate the battery, and hollow things compress slightly, especially something like a hand grip.  I had a K-30 that did the same thing and I did not find it objectionable or even noticeable, actually.  K-50 had the final iteration of the very well regarded K-5 sensor, so you have a good picture taking machine.
