I regret selling my Pentax KF for $320 and want a newer APSC camera for my K and A Mount Lenses I can keep in the car and abuse. The CCD stuff really fucking sucks in low light to the point that if you introduce any movement it shits itself. Its fun to use in a sunny day but not practical. The K1 is too expensive and big to edc.
Sony a68 or Pentax K-70? Both are like $260-300. The Sony is harder to find because its region locked so I have to buy one in America, the ones sold on buyee are Japanese only.
Pentax KS2 is $140-180 off buyee too but the K-70 has better low-light performance. KF/K-70 was excellent for low light for a APSC just the AF leaves a lot to be desired. There's also a K-70 with a busted screen I could try to repair for $120 (I can get the KS2 display for $40 off Aliexpress).
a68 might be cool too since my newest A-Mount camera is a 14.2mp CCD a390. a77ii is like $4-700 still and other than the plastic lens mount I won't miss anything I think. I do feel like the Pentaxes are sturdier cameras than the Sonys, especially the SLT line which half of the ones for sale have a error message or bad focus/antishake/sensors.
