My Pentax *ist died a while ago, I think I am in a spot to replace it. So I was planning on just buying a new Pentax body and using my current lenses. But I was at staples and saw a Canon rebel t3 with a 18-55 zoom lens for 499 (449 at newegg). Now i am torn. My lenses are great, I currently have a manual 50mm, a Tamaron 70-300mm zoom and a old 35-105 zoom. These are ok lenses but nothing great. Now is the time to make a move if I am going to. I would need a 70-300mm zoom to replace the one I got. I am just kinda torn. Any caveats to buying used lenses for the Canon.
I am not going to invest a ton of money into lenses just going to have a couple and I am not going to spend a lot on the ones I do get. They only thing the Pentax offers in the body that I would like to have is IS, but thats not a deal breaker.
Should be able to sell off the Pentax stuff to buy the bigger zoom.
I need to price out the Nikon equivalents so I can compare as well.
Any thoughts, help me feel good about doing this cause I liked my Pentax. Thanks Todd
And now it looks like they have discontinued the K-R so I really don't have an upgrade path through Pentax right now.
