Re: Should I stay with Pentax?

As someone who has flirted with switching (or migrating, whatever you want to call it), I would suggest proceeding with caution. I've spent a lot more money than necessary, just to discover that the old cliché is true: the grass does always seem greener on the other side. In the meantime, as another poster has suggested, try picking up a used K5IIs, and use it with your existing lenses while you contemplate your future goals with photography. The K5 is built like a tank, gets great battery life, and you'll appreciate how nice it feels in your hands compared to your previous camera. And the sensor in the K5 makes beautiful files. So, save your money for more important things, and bring a K5IIs on your trip and have fun. Just my humble opinion
