However, I think for the BEST quality, I really think the absolute best bang for the buck you can get is by buying an older used Pentax body, like a K100 or *ist DS and then buying fully manual glass off ebay. Old Pentax glass is very high quality and readily available at bargain prices. Of course, SOME old Pentax glass is still pretty darn expensive, but there's plenty to get you started.
It really depends on whether you want a more flexible solution or one that you can expand and grow.

Well i have to say that this will probably be my main hobby once i get camera so i definitely want to expand upon whatever i get. I know that it wont be as good, but how good is an older Pentax compared with a newer model.
