Hi i'm a beginner photographer, and graphics design student, who is interested in photography as a hobby. However i am interested in becoming an event and commission photographer/designer (If thats a thing).
Currently i am using a Pentax ist D S, which is outdated and doesn't suit my needs. I have many accessories for this camera and three lenses.
I use it for all types of photography, as i am still a student and trying to find my style. However i want to stay with Pentax as i already have lenses for the cameras and, are good in quality, and, cherished by photographers. I was thinking of purchasing the K-70, with another, newer 18-50mm lens as the 18-55mm(DA) i have now, is outdated(but unsure if that makes a difference). My other lenses don't support AF.
I want to use the camera for 7+ years and make money from it(Is that over ambitious?), so it cannot be prone to faults.
Also when picking a camera, should i go for used or new? I noticed that a new body for the K-70 is over £900, with tax, RRP. Which is a lot for me but not afraid(maybe a little afraid) to spend, if that means ill benefit from it in the long run.
If you think I'm aiming too high, and would not be able to use the camera to its potential or would just be better off buying something else, please say so, and suggest a better option for purchase!
I'm open to all suggestions,
