Hi.
I am in the market for a DSLR, but I am really unsure what camera to go for. I've done lots of research, but I can't really decide between
Pentax K-30/K-5/K-5II
Nikon D7000/D7100
I think I'm going for one of those 5 cameras. I have no lenses or other equipment. I will mostly bring my camera when walking my dog in various conditions (both with regards to weather and light). I also want to take pictures of various situations (like my dog running etc, som amateur sports etc), in addition to nature, landscape, architecture, people, macro etc.
I live in Norway, so the weather is often cold or wet.
My problem is this: I like the Nikon because of the more popular system, so it's very easy to get lenses++ used compared to Pentax (especially in Norway). I like the Pentax because I don't want to be anxious about the camera/lenses are being ruined if there is some rain or or lots of fog/humidity.
The Nikons are supposed to be weather resistant, but from what I can gather the Nikon lenses that are good and are weather resistant, are quite expensive.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
