I had been put off by the large size DSLR's and matching huge lenses. I looked around and had (for the added image quality and enhanced low light ability) decided to get a full frame (FF) Canon or Nikon, but the entry price and enormous files didn't appeal; this is no joke, huge files take a fast processor and a LOT of hard drive, something you may want to consider. I took a look at the Pentax K5 and found a relatively compact camera with some large advantages. It's constructed with a magnesium and stainless steel frame and feels it. It feels solid and the switches have a positive and solid feel; it fits the hand well. It is weatherproofed, something important with electronic gear -a light rain can be an expensive one without this feature; weatherproofed lenses are also available. It has a nearly 100% viewfinder which is a rarity, what you see is what you get with no guessing at the edges. Using a viewfinder for composing is advantageous, since the camera is held to the eye it also is anchored by the head, arms and body, something the two arms outstretched stance to view with an LCD screen will not do. It also closes off extraneous elements that might otherwise distract. It has a built in shake reduction system, so any lens, regardless of manufacturer, has this benefit. It allows the lenses to be smaller, a welcome feature. It does not have the vast number of lenses available that Nikon/Canon have, so if you need or want that many lenses, it might be best to look elsewhere. Having said that, the lenses available are extremely well regarded for sharpness and contrast, for example a macro that actually goes 1:1 instead of the common 1:2 magnification, and the limited series of lenses that are not only sharp, but exquisitely made of metal. It's entirely possible to carry a camera and keep 2 other prime lenses comfortably in your pockets. Last, it is backwards compatible with all Pentax lenses, which is a considerable number. Using a viewfinder to compose makes the battery last an impressively long time; using the Live View will proportionately decrease battery life. The K5 is an excellent low light performer with little noise, in fact it continues to surprise using a relatively high ISO rating(ISO is the relative sensitivity to light). The camera uses DNG format for its RAW files, which is a good thing since it gets away from the proprietary files some others use. It can be shot in JPEG, RAW, or JPEG and RAW. A RAW file enables you to adjust for lighting and other parameters when you process it; a JPEG is considered a lossy file since bits of information are not kept to keep the files smaller. The JPEGs from the K5 look very good and many will not find the need to use RAW, but the DNG files are very good indeed and worth the extra effort for the micro-details. It comes with a program to use DNG, or they can be processed in the camera. Other programs, such as DXO, are also available for this. Pentaxforums dot com is a superb place to gather information about this, and other Pentax cameras and the marketplace is a great place to pick up a lens, or camera at substantial savings. I suggest that you upgrade the firmware as soon as you receive the camera. I am very pleased with the performance of both the camera and lenses; I prefer the 50macro and the 43 ltd. The kit lens, BTW, is very good. The disadvantage of this camera is that your local camera store is probably not going to have them, something that is very surprising considering the solid value for money. The K5 is a photographer's camera with a great deal of control. This camera and system will not fit all needs, but if it meets yours I feel you will be pleased. I hope this will be useful to those looking.If you use an LCD screen protector, one you might consider is the GGS DSLR optical glass screen protector. The pros are: it's glass so no bubbles and it's easy to clean, no distortion. The con is that it is glass and while it will protect your delicate LCD screen, if broken it will have sharp glass shards. I am pleased with mine and it's well priced. Oddly enough, the one that will fit the K5 is for the Nikon DSLR 3000. There are other excellent screen protectors that will do an excellent job, such as Giottos, but cost more and some are still glass, a choice you will have to make.There is a great deal of confusion regarding the APS-C sensor size vs Full Frame. What appears in the viewfinder for a given focal length, say 50mm, will seem to be approximately 50% larger in the APS-C (Pentax); in this example the 50mm acting as a 75mm. This is misleading, it is actually a change in the field of view (FOV)which is a cropped image from the smaller sensor size. I would refer anyone interested in a full explanation to pentaxforums dot com and use the search function to look for: APS-C does not increase focal length over FF, it decreases field of viewThis is an excellent discussion that makes this confusing subject understandable.

This won't be a technical review. You can read technical reviews elsewhere, for instance on dpreview. Just 1 comment on these reviews. Most of them praise the K-5 and rank it higher than the very popular and close to the K-5 Nikon D7000 (they share the same sensor). Except for 2 things: high introductory price and lenses availability. Now the price has dropped and K-5 is now cheaper than any of its equivalent competitors. Lenses selection is not an issue in case you know that the lens you need is available (most of us do not need all 100 or 200 available lenses, right?).It is so common nowadays to ask a lot (more) of a product. I remember when I was choosing my first digital camera and it always seemed like there is no ideal solution - every option was lacking in 1 or more ways. Either the zoom was not enough or the size was too big or the price was too high or the quality was not good enough ... And this theme reappeared every time I was involved in helping my friends choosing a digital camera (including dSLRs)This is the first time ever I was so satisfied with a product I was not able to find anything extra to wish for for quite a while and even now after owning it for 5 months I can only think of a few very minor extras which could imho be added through a firmware update).I was shooting film recently and thus "spoiled" by Full Frame (35mm) format. digital FF was out of my price range though. After getting the K-5 I feel I don't need/want FF anymore.PROS:- according to reviews it is better and now also cheaper than any competitor = a win-win situation (closest and imho almost even competitor is Nikon D7000)- backwards compatibility with all Pentax-made lenses- the best body for adapting 3-rd party M-42 and M-39 lenses. Infinity focus = yes, focus confirmation = yes unlike Nikon or Canon which are either impossible to adapt or require tricky adapters which do affect image quality as far as I know.- a unique range of very compact "limited" primes.- great and tight Pentaxians communityCONS:- Pentax is not doing well as a company. It has been bought twice in the last few years and nobody knows if it will recover (personally I'm optimistic)- Pentax is not very common in the US, which means you will have fewer opportunities to swap lenses with your friends or get first-hand advice from another Pentax shooter you know in person (in my case the closest Pentax shooter I know lives thousands of miles away). This might be a big issue for some.- consequences of the above is that used lenses for rental are hard to find and Pentax availability in BM stores is very limited.- biggest issue is maybe lesser selection of lenses than Canon or Nikon. An alarming fact is that 3rd party manufacturers (Tamron, Sigma etc) are disregarding Pentax mount more and more often. Hopefully this will change with newly instituted policies by Pentax-Ricoh. To me personally this issue is balanced by 2 factors: M-42 lenses which work best on Pentax and I have a bunch of them and the fact that the lens I needed was present in the Pentax mount line up (Tamron 17-50 f2.8) at the same price as other mounts.Note: the new owner of Pentax (Ricoh) seams to be doing a lot to rebuild the Pentax brand in the US so maybe soon the above will not be an issue anymore. It looks to me Pentax is on the right track now. Only time will tell if that's really the case though.How did I personally arrive to buying the Pentax K-5:I have no brand loyality what's so ever, however my search was driven by what are the most popular models nevertheless.When I was picking my dSLR in November 2011 I started with looking at FF options first. The by far best value at that time was Canon 5D MarkII, you could get body-only at ~$2000 (now even cheaper). This was definitely out of my price range though, so I started looking at higher end APS-C dSLRs.I started with Canon and Nikon offerings (Canon 7D and 60D and Nikon D7000). Not only was the Nikon newer than either Canon option, it was also ranked higher by most reviewers and was a better value. 7D looked way overpriced, a bit outdated (it is 1 year older model than 60D or D7000) and seemed to have less features on-paper. It is supposed to be a higher end camera and I'm sure those who know what it offers that the lower-end models do not have can benefit from it. 60D with its plastic body was a noticeably more lower-end than the Nikon. Anyway my conclusion was that unlike with Full Frame Canon doesn't really offer a good option in the $1k-2k price range, unlike the Nikon with its D7000. So I was set to get the Nikon.While reading Nikon D7000 reviews I've learned of the almost equivalent due to the same sensor Pentax K-5. Reviews were ranking it (slightly) higher than the D7000 (both were the same price at that moment ~$1200 for the body). I was still inclined towards the Nikon, as it was a much more popular and widespread camera. But then there was a $230 discount on the Pentax and I have jumped on it. Lens selection was not an is

Since I own both cameras I thought I'd do little comparison between the two. Both are very excellent cameras and neither one would be a bad choice. The K5 has image stabilization built into the camera body which means it will work with any lens. Supposedly VR built into Nikon's zooms and longer lenses is a little better than in camera image stabilization but older lenses and most primes don't have any VR so I suppose the advantage depends on what lens you are using. The way both cameras work with older lenses is quite different. With the D7000 when you use an older manual focus AIS lens, you set the widest aperture and assign a number to the lens. As you change the f stop on the lens there is a mechanical connection to the aperture of the lens so the camera knows the f stop and you can use aperture priority mode. The camera sets the shutter speed which will change as you manually move the aperture on the lens. Pre AI lenses can't be used unless they have been modified. Nikon's AF lenses have electrical contacts that communicate with the camera body so all modes are available. The K5 has what they call a crippled mount which means that there is no mechanical connection which allows the camera to know when you manually change the aperture on an older lens. However you can press a button that momentarily stops down the lens (obviously this is done mechanically) and during this moment the camera meters and sets the shutter speed after which you press the shutter and take the picture. What I really like about Pentax though is that long before AF lenses came out they produced their A series of lenses which have electrical contacts to convey exposure information to the camera and also to enable the camera to electrically set the f stop of the lens. These lenses were being produced while Nikon was still making the AIS lenses which had no electrical contacts. Third party lenses also came in the A series with electrical contacts. These lenses are sometimes quite reasonable on the used market and allow you to use program mode on the K5 which means you have basically everything except AF.To sum it up you have three kinds of mounts for Nikon, pre AIS which need modified, AIS where you manually set the aperture and AF. On Pentax you actually have four. The older screw mount which requires an adapter, the PK M mount which has to be stopped down to meter, the PK A which has automatic metering features and the full AF mount. With both Nikon and Pentax you have AF lenses that use a screw drive from the camera and some with built in focus motors. Supposedly Nikon's in lens focus motors are better???The disadvantage of the K5 is that there are a lot more lenses for Nikon including both new, discontinued and third party so there is more competition in the Nikon lens market both new and used. Also it is harder to find extension tubes, teleconverters, etc. for Pentax. Two very nice lenses available for Nikon and not Pentax is the Tokina 11-16mm wide angle and the Tokina 100mm macro. One very nice lens for Pentax is the DA 300mm f4 which is the lightest most hand holdable lens in it's class.The K 5 is presently $200 cheaper than the D7000. The K5 is slightly lighter weight, smaller and fits nicer in your hand especially when combined with some of the smaller primes. The K5 has a sensitivity mode (ISO priority) which the D7000 doesn't have. I have two very nice Vivitar series one macro zoom lenses by Komine 70-210 f2.8-4. that don't extend when zooming like many other zooms. They are identical except that one has a Nikon AIS mount and the other a Pentax A (PK A) mount. With the Pentax version I get full programing mode plus image stabilization which I don't get with the Nikon version. One thing with Pentax A lenses is the focal length information is not sent to the camera so with a zoom the camera doesn't know the focal length as you zoom in and out. Of course the AF lenses do send focal length information to the camera. My conclusion is that they are both really great cameras. When I was in high school my first camera was a Contaflex one. It was a single lens reflex but didn't have interchangeable lenses nor a light meter and was expensive considering what a dollar would buy in 1957. By comparison these two cameras (in combination with my Mac mini) are absolutely amazing.

This camera was an upgrade for me from the K10d, and I feel like it was a worthy upgrade. The specifications are out there, but the ones that enticed me to upgrade from the k10d were the+low light handling (high ISO) capabilities+The high dynamic range (better than the 12-bits in the K10d+The improved focal handling+The continued support for older K-Mount lenses.There are other positives including the ability to customize buttons and the sequences they go through when selected and custom user functions, but they weren't the strong factors.I've had the camera for about 6 months now, and I love it. It works extremely well and doesn't change much from the K10d. I've adjusted to many of the differences and feel that if you are considering the K5 as an upgrade from a previous Pentax dSLR, you won't be sorry. The upgrade will probably be most worthwhile for those coming from the K20d and lower. The High-Iso performance is fairly impressive. I feel very confident taking photos up to ISO 6400 with this camera although I prefer sticking at 1600 and below.The 16MP images make it easy to pixel-peep and be too critical of your images. These large resolution images always appear worse on your monitor at 100% and should not be criticized too much for noise and sharpness at these levels. I've found that my images come out extremely sharp once printed and looked at in a more "normal" sized setting than if you zoom in and look at it at a 100% (pixel for pixel) size. My initial feeling was my photos were lacking, but once I had a few 4 x 6 to 8 x 10 prints made (not sure on larger), I was blown away. The resolution also changes how one should approach editing with respect to sharpness and noise, but that is a discussion left for photoshop forums and enthusiasts.The Pentax brand dSLR's are worthwhile for those who may already own Pentax cameras (as I did) including film cameras. All the K mount and even older lenses can be used with the K5. I love it. I actually started with my previous K10d because as a student it was nice to be able to pick up used lenses, including older 1970's vintage lenses, at an affordable price. You don't necessarily get all the nice automatic features, but the lenses have great quality, and I learned more about photography with those older lenses than I ever did before. The on-body anti-shake makes all your lenses anti-shake, and the weather sealing gives me confident that being out on a wet or drizzly day isn't going to ruin the camera. Just remember that full weather sealing (not water-proofing) requires a weather sealed lens to be 100%. I only have one or two lenses that meet that standard, but I still feel confident that moisture isn't going to seep through buttons, the SD card slot, or battery.My only complaints about this camera are more nit-picking than anything. The battery is to be complained about because it would have been nice to have kept the size compatible across the Pentax dSLR models. I suppose there is a good electronic reason for not doing that, but it would have been nice to keep taking advantage of my K10d batteries, even if it meant less photos on a full charge (due to a likely lower voltage).The mode selection dial seems awkward as I used to quickly roll through modes (aperture priority to full manual) quite easily but a button must now be engaged to change modes. I think the purpose was to keep people from accidentally changing modes, but I'm not a huge fan. The camera is a bit smaller than my K10d, and I am a bit big handed. This isn't a huge problem, but I do feel things are a bit awkward.Last, I feel that the access compartments for the battery and SD cards are a little lower in quality than the K10d. I don't that is a "real" problem, but just something that feels different on this camera.Pentax does have good customer support, and it is worth looking at the "PentaxForums" website if you are seriously considering this camera without much knowledge of the Pentax brand and this model. Early runs of the K5 had problems that Pentax replaced very nicely for its users.The K5 is a good camera from a good company. It may not match up to Nikon or Canon but it does perhaps provide the most value for your money.UPDATE: I also want to add that one other "flaw" comes in the PK2 mount and its interaction with older attachments. With my K10d, I was able to attach items, such as manual extension tubes, that didn't have full contacts and the camera could still adjust the aperture lever as it should (not talking A-Mode here but selecting the aperture on the lens itself). On the K5, that is not possible unless all 7 pins on the body are in contact with the attached lens setup. This causes issues with extension tubes that have no contacts or even a bellows type setup. It isn't the end of the world, mind you. The work around is to short the pins on the body via aluminum foil or removing anodized paint off of the objects making contact. Once this is done, the came

My K-5 experience has been a real adventure: first I was sent a broken, used camera (palmed off as new) by an Amazon seller (Essex Technology Group); then Amazon sent me one that was either damaged or defective. Whatever the reason, the images from this second camera were uniformly terrible--muddy and ugly, with no definition. Amazon was terrific: they sent me a replacement K-5, which arrived today. The third time's the charm! What a difference! This camera is great, I am I very glad I got it. I already have a K-r, so I have something to compare with. I like the K-r very much, but the K-5 is a significant upgrade in all respects.What's good about the K-5:--16+MP (up from 12+ in the K-r), increased DR, 14-bit color (up from 12-bit in the K-r).--You can shoot remote (IR) from behind or from in front of the camera. Great improvement over K-r (you had to be beside or in front of the camera).--You can shoot remote (IR) burst and remote timer. Another improvement over the K-r.--You can shoot with cable shutter release, which can be more convenient than IR in some situations. (K-r is IR only.)--With the v1.11 firmware upgrade, you can capture over two dozen RAW images in burst mode at 7fps before the shooting speed begins to slow down. A huge improvement over the K-r, and one of the main reasons I upgraded to the K-5. Very few cameras at this level can do this.--You can set WB to Kelvin temperature numbers. Very useful; for me it's easier than remembering a list of terms ("shade" "fluorescent light" etc.) which may or may not be entirely applicable. (Althought these in-camera numbers don't correspond to what Adobe thinks they are in PhotoShop, the differences aren't too great.)--At any given WB setting, the color seems to be a tiny bit better than K-r. But this is highly subjective and could be due to inevitable slight differences in environment, due to time required to remove lens from one camera and put in on the other.--Even in flat light, it appears to generate better images (more contrast and more detail) than the K-r, which was already a very good camera in any light.--The increased resolution is very noticeable in enlargements, which is going to mean better large prints and crops.--Even JPEG images are very good--I just gave it a quick test for some images to view on the computer, so I haven't yet shot and looked at RAW.*NOTE: for some reason, the camera comes with JPEG quality set to less than maximum. With all this firepower, I don't know why Pentax assumes that the user wants to generate anything but the best possible images. But this is quickly changed through the Info Menu.--You can shoot DNG (Adobe's version of RAW) which means instant compatiblity with Photoshop's earlier versions.--You can make countless modifications to programs and settings, to customize everything in a way that works best for your shooting style and image preferences. For example, it feels more natural for me to have the front e-dial for aperture and the rear e-dial for shutter speed. Pentax has it set up the opposite, but it was a matter of moments to go into the menu and switch the dials' function to suit my preference.--Redundancy: there is more than one way to access most key functions to change them. In many cases, you can go through a button, through Info, or through Menu. This makes it much quicker and easier to find what you are looking for.--User friendly! Many settings can be accessed at the touch of a button. The choices are generally very good and take very little getting used to.--Like the K-r, other key settings can be accessed and changed by simply pressing the Info button once or twice, then changing from the matrix of a dozen items.In short, what's not to like? The price has come down, the kit lenses work great, the camera is compact and easy to use, IQ is terrific. Can't wait to take some surf shots with the zoom. (Of course, some waves would help, and sunshine would be good, too.)In my original review I had some comments about the physical features of the K-5; they are very minor and with use I have gotten used to them, but they are real and I am including them here...................From my original, "First thoughts" review:At this point I can only comment on the handling of the K-5, since I haven't had a chance to use it much. I have a K-r, which I like a lot. I realize that anything new takes some getting used to, but I feel that the K-r was a little better in terms of handling. Examples:1. The Mode dial (PASM)on the K-5 is a lot stiffer, and it's awkward and unneccessary to have to push down the button atop the dial in order to make the dial turn.LATER NOTE: I always shoot Manual mode, so at this point this is a very minor issue.2. The AF selector dial is also too stiff--very hard to turn. [Still irritating.]3. I also find the battery cover opening mechanism to be needlessly complicated. A simple push-to-open (like the memory card cover) or a simple latch (like the K-r) would b

I am going to write a short and sweet review. I will also keep it not technical that has been done well above. I started digital with the K100D the moved up to the K20D which is a very good camera. I was a pro for many years during the film days and once I got shooting again I love digital. My daughter wants to become a photographer so I am back at it. Here is the only place where the Pentax falls down. They just do not make some of the things a pro would like to have. The K5 cannot tether which in many conditions would be a huge help and even required for others in a pro shoot. You cannot buy a remote flash trigger that allows you to use PTTL. There are just many accessories for Canon and Nikon that I wish I could get for the K5. That said I do love the camera, they really thought out the ergonomics on this one, a vast improvement over the K20D, which by the way was fine, I would never have thought anything about them if I had not got the K5. It is just very intuitive to use, everything is right where it ought to be, I hardly have to bring the camera from my to change settings. The photos are fantastic. I was a bit put off by the auto focus but as it turns out it was the lenses I was using. Okay they were not bad at all I am just being very picky. But when I stepped up to the star lenses the auto focus performs wonderfully. I took a shot of a raft going down a river that I shot through tree branches in the winter, the AF found the raft, ignored the branches and gave me a perfectly focused shot. I rate this camera very high a nine or ten on its use and quality. If the lack of some things that would only really bother a pro doesn't bother you then this is the camera for you, it does out perform many cameras in its price range and even of some vastly more expensice. Shooting at high ISO is great it took me a while to do it as I am old school but I have taken shots at 3200 and 6400 that are great even 12K us usable, 1600 looks like the 400 of other cameras I have used. If you have light room you can easily clean up the noise at the highest ISO as well and get some great photos. Well I guess it was not that short, but I had to say what a joy it is to use this camera. Even if I have to go to a D3s for some studio things and for the accessories, I will continue to shoot with the K5 for a great many things.....of course if Pentax decides to create firm ware to aid tethering hint, hint, I can do without remote PTTL as I shoot off camera flash on manual anyway. Oh yeah the video is great and as for the auto focus, all the pro videographers I know never shoot with auto focus anyway.Okay, now that I have used the camera for a good amount of time I would like to revise the review a bit. I still love the K5, there is something about it that just makes me enjoy having it in my hands. Picture quality is wonderful, as good as cameras costing many times as much but here are the problems that I have had. First I ordered a star lens it came with the autofocus motor not working, it was replaced but still a hassel. Second since I got back into shooting professinaly the K5 has not held up. It is in the shop getting repaired right now. I know that electronic devices break and it did right in the middle of a shoot. I was able to pull out my K20D and finish fine though. I am not going to get into what happened just that it made shooting with it impossible for that day. Where I am really not happy is with Pentax customer service. I have about two months left on warrenty and that seems to make them not so interested in being prompt. They have had my K5 for a month now, they said it would be fifteen to twenty days. I called at twenty days and they said they had just got the camera ten days before. I mentioned that I had a signed receipt for the day it was delivered. They said wait ten days and call back so I did. Then they said the they had just got the camera five days later than before. When I questioned the guy about that he said oh wait there is a hold on your camera because it is on warenty. I asked him if that made a difference on their turnaround time and he just said call back when it has been twenty days, which of course it had been over that. It is hard because I do really like the camera but with this kind of customer service I am going to fork out for the Nikon D3s I guess when you put the camera through pro work you really need a pro camera. I will still use the K5 especially for travel and landscape work. I really dont think that if someone uses the camera like an amature would and not shooting thousands of photos in a day there would be no problems, and maybe not anyway I may have just been unlucky but thanks to their customer service I am going elsewhere before I have so much invested I cant do so.

This is the third weather sealed Pentax I've owned and I'm happy to say that I have full confidence in Pentax's ability to make a camera that I can take anywhere. Rain storms, freezing rain, snow and blowing sand will not slow me down. Other camera owners dive for cover while I get the shots.And it's not just about how rugged the k5 is built - it's comfortable, very customizable, responsive and takes great images, even at iso 25600!The grip is awesome... it feels attached to my hand and it makes it easier to hold over long periods. Plus, it actually feels lighter than what it is - I think it's how the weight is distributed, but it's what ergonomics is about.I love how I can reassign what a button does, or what a control wheel controls. For example, if I'm in AV mode (aperture priority), I can assign the the front wheel or rear wheel to change the aperture while the other wheel can control exposure compensation, iso, or nothing at all.It focuses quickly, does well at tracking and shoots quickly and quietly. This last point is interesting... the k5 is a small camera and Pentax lenses tend to be smaller and lighter than their competition, especially when you look at their prime lenses. I've noticed when using my larger lenses, the people I'm taking a picture of react much differently than when I use smaller lenses. When a smaller lens is on the camera, they are more relaxed and are less likely to know that I'm taking pictures of them. Plus with the camera shutter being very quiet, I can keep taking photos and they are likely not even aware that I'm taking pictures. I love taking candid pictures since peoples reactions are much more natural. The Pentax K5 helps me get these shots.Taking pictures indoors can be such a challenge - lighting in most areas is very low which presents photographers with many challenges. Often times it means shooting at a large aperture which means the depth of field will be very shallow - one person may be in focus, but the person next to them won't be. Or shutter speed needs to be dropped which means if your subject moves, you'll get motion blur or even if your subject is still, it makes keeping the camera still enough difficult. And another compromise that can be used is to raise the ISO (sensitivity) higher that often induces static or noise to the image. Pentax has addressed these issues head on. First, the Pentax K5 has image stabilization built in, so if you are shooting at low shutter speeds, you are much more likely to get a sharp image. The rule of thumb has been the shutter speed should equal or greater than the focal length (in 35mm equivalence). So if you're shooting with a 50mm lens and since the Pentax has a crop factor of 1.5, it has a 75mm focal length so I should shoot at 1/75th or higher to get a sharp image. But with the k5 I regularly shoot at 1/20th with a 50mm lens without issue. That means I can decrease the aperture for more depth of field and or reduce the iso to decrease noise.But the amazing thing is how little of a penalty there is for increasing the ISO on the Pentax K5. I found myself shooting in a very dimly lit Tango Dance Studio where I was needing to keep the shutter speeds at 1/100th or more since people were dancing while keeping the aperture set to f2.8 or higher. This meant I had to shoot at iso 25600 and a lot of those shots were absolutely useable! My previous cameras, I was hesitant to shoot at even iso 3200 because the noise became such a problem. But the K5 has such low chroma noise, the noise reduction feature in Lightroom 3 makes images at this high ISO useable. That's one thing I noticed on my uncles Nikon D7000 - at h4 (iso 25600), the Nikon had much more chroma noise than my pictures with the Pentax k5. And chroma noise is much harder to get rid of and makes images much less appealing.All in all, I'm so excited about having the k5. Indoor or night shooting will be much easier. Macro shooting will be easier since I can raise the ISO so I can either increase the shutter speed or increase the aperture without penalty. When I'm people shooting, I can be stealthier with a smaller camera that is very quiet. My back will be happier when I go hiking because my gear is smaller and lighter. And I don't have to cower away from nature since I know my gear is up to taking most of what mother nature has waiting for me. Pentax has made an amazing camera that is worthy of all the awards its getting. And I know I'm so lucky to own one!

The first thing that strikes my each time I pick up the K-5 is how solid it feels. Yet, it is small and lighter weight than all other DSLR's I have owned. Knowing the body (and some lenses) are weather sealed makes it easy to carry in any weather without giving a second thought to sheltering it from the elements. This is how a camera should be built.Shooting is fluid and the K-5 is instantly on and ready with either the power switch from fully off or with the shutter button from its power saving sleep state. Shutter lag is zero to my perception and the camera is clearly faster than me.Having shake reduction built into the body rather than the system's lenses was a great selling point for me. It means I can put on a twenty year old manual focus Pentax-M lens and it has the same vibration reduction as a brand new lens. I have mounted the K-5 to a telescope and also made great use of the "SR" (shake reduction) feature.Image quality is relative to the quality of the lens you mount on any camera. Coupled with good lenses the sensor in the K-5 renders colors accurately and the wide dynamic range provides alot of detail to work with in post processing. I always shoot RAW and find the results consistent and pleasing even straight from the camera.I primarily went to the Pentax system because I liked their small prime DA Limited series lenses. Coupled with the K-5 the 21mm makes a super small package for easy carrying under arm. The 18-55mm kit lens is amazing and my normal choice for carrying while hiking.There are more custom menu and in camera editing features than I would prefer. Some of the Pentax menus are not full intuitive. I think Nikon still wins in that category. So in some ways this may be a Mac vs PC kind of comparison. I guess I am a PC guy. I prefer making exposure and setup decisions myself and am willing to live with some mild idiosyncrasies of menus and button placement.Battery life has exceeded my expectations and while I carry a spare I have never run out of juice and needed to swap while carrying the K-5.
