Hello Pentaxians,

I am looking at upgrading from a Pentax K-r (currently not functioning) and my "back-up" *istDs and was after some advice as to which is the better option:

- K-30 / K-50 or
- K-5 series (including K-5II & K-5IIs)?

I primarily do sports/action photography so am leaning towards the 7 fps of the K-5 series over the K-30/50 but a lot of the decision comes down to budget and availability (looking at second-hand at this stage).

Not interested in changing platforms (Canon/Nikon/etc) as this would require an investment in new lenses, flash, etc.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
