I have been acquiring entry level digital cameras rather then adding lenses .
Not such a good idea, but my autistic glitch hates letting go.
I am considering another updated body for one of three cameras-
Pentax K10d [early adoption to use manual lenses ] , my main system - Sony A35 [ primarily to use Minolta lenses with a 35mm f1.8 Sony added ] , or Panasonic G1 [ex-dem for compactness and to use old Rokors, especially the 135mm f3.5 on infinity ]-
It would be Pentax K50/500 , Sony A58 , or a 4/3rd camera of some kind.
I miss the Pentax two dial system for manual use with a 50mm f1.7, plus I have realised that I still favour the continuity of SLR viewing ... it is however bulky and heavy .
I like the ability to add third party lenses to a 4/3rds camera, but am less content with using an EVF.
I have more Minolta lenses for the A35, so an inexpensive A38 would create a second body for the 35mm f1.8....again, the EVF is still a touch unnerving with ASD which like sameness and continuity.
I am tempted by the Pentax body, but would need to add a 35mm at some stage as I prefer a nom 50mm prime as main lens.
It's a conundrum.
