Pros
  • High ISO IQ, mostly inline/better vs CaNikons but lighter,smaller,tough
Cons
  • AF features could be improved further
The K5 is a wonderful improvement over the K7. Especially in IQ at high ISO it's best in class in crop cam's together with Nikon's D7000 that seems to have a very similar sensor setup. Still looking sometimes to Canon 7D's AF features... there is still "room for improvement" for Pentax, e.g. AF manual selection of fields on other than DA-lenses. But this is very small wishlist item for the future ;-)
Almost all of my fotos are shot with Pentax:

Am using Sigma 300 2.8 plus 1.4 TC, DA*300 plus 1.5 TC or most recently the new "Bigma" 50-500 that shows also nice improvement over the long lasting evergreen...
