brad_jones1 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Recently I was looking at the pricing of these two, i can get a used 30D for(New Zealand $)$1,250 with a cheap CANON EF-50mm f/1.8 II lens + warranty sincethe owner has had it for only 1 month, or i can get Pentax K10D brand new withkit lens F3.5-5.6, 18-55 mm for $1,325 with warranty etc., each has it's prosand cons. Which would be the ideal to get? I plan to shoot mostly landscape,natural/outdoor etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanford Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 K10D, the best value out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcole Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If you're eventually planning to expand into other accessories-flash, lenses, etc.--I wouldn't bother with Pentax. It is a very limited system, and even big makers like Sigma and Tokina have a limited selection of lenses available. BTW--I'm a Pentax owner.

jcuknz Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It is nonsense to say that Pentax is a limited system as has been pointed out on this forum in the past by people who know what they are talking about. It seems even owners don't really know what they are talking about. Shame you went for the Canon when from what you say your interests there was no need.

a few images Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 K10D - More features, more lenses for less money. Better tonal range, more film-like images. I like Canon and Nikon but, Pentax beat them fair and square with the K10D in this camera category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
