My Pentax K-7 is basically dead after a fall in the water - just waiting for insurance to cough up (at a rather discounted pay out ) so Iam looking at E_PL2 combo lens kit, although the PL1 combo kit is available for about 30% less. I know they have the same sensor and resolution is equivalent- so my justification for the PL2 is the better looks biggrin, the MkII kit lens, better AF speed and better dynamic range controls.
I will be using this as my photos-while-fishing companion (in a protective cover). The K-7 was good but a bit heavey on the neck after a couple of hours - and it has to be ready at all times as action does not wait for fumbling in camera bags! So I suppose the battery life is one question - and is "wake-up" quick or slow?
Let me know guys!
Thanks.
(And it will be nice to be back with Oly - I've been a fan since the OM-1 days ...)
