Re: Should I stay with Pentax?

My experience getting a new camera right before a trip was I got poorer shots on the trip than I should have because I was not up to speed on the new cameras quirks.

Of course it depends on what camera.  Generally I have had little issue with going between older Pentax models.   But it did kind of throw me when they changed how Auto ISO works a few years ago.

The K3III has a whole new GUI compared to older Pentaxes.  I have found it easy to use but I don't know about switching to it right before a big trip.

But if you are just wanting to switch brands quickly for some reason, Canon has  the most logical and easy to switch to GUIs.  I have found it almost boring how easy it is.
