I myself sat on the forums 3 days ago, chose between Pentax kr, compared the pictures, approximately the same, I took Nikon, so far I don’t regret it a bit !
I figured out the settings, again everything is thought out.
My first SLR. Friends tried to dissuade, like why do you need to carry it, take it with a normal zoom, compact, etc., but I decided for myself that I want to enjoy the photo, the quality
The most important thing is to decide what it is for.
Good luck to all! good photos!
