Re: New camera, or a new lens? Help...

The KP will be a big step up for sure

You may also consider the 20-40. Not quite the range, but IQ will be miles apart.

If your subjects won't stay still or if you shoot indooors a lot, I think the KP will make a bigger difference.

Also the camera will have a greater effevt on how pleasurable it is to take pics, it is a more refined, higher tech, newer camera..

55mm is not very long... a tele lens like the 55-300 might change the way you see things.

It's black Friday today, get the KP and 55-300 plm, and you'll get great action shots of the family. You can sell / hand down the K50 later.
