Hi folks
This is my first posting, so thanks for your help!
I have an old pentax MZ-30 SLR with 2 lenses 18-80 and 100-200 I think (or somethig similar anyway).
I am wanting to upgrade into the world of digital as I've stopped using the old SLR and using a P&S digital due to convenience and cost of developing.
Now, my big question is should I start again with a whole new camera and lenses (a friend recommended the nikon D90) or should i stick with pentax so i can use my old lenses?
I am looking for a reasonable quality beginners DSLR camera...I love taking photos of travel, landscapes, wildlife and the odd family gathering...but its more outdoors landscape stuff that interests me.
Any suggestions on whether I should stick with pentax because of the 2 old lenses or start a fresh??????
