  • My favourite camera. Definitely better than the mainstream competition of consumer crap. Thank god Pentax places quality over quantity.

  • @JJtheJaxartosaurus

    Nop, in fact, their cameras are top notch !

    The only point D7000(e.g) can beat the K-5, is the AF in video mode, that's all (but, a pro videographer use only manual focus). Even AF, is disturing with the D7000, it gives a lot of out-of-focus images.(google : D7000 + out of focus).

    The K-5 is the king of APS-c systems.

    Wrong.

    The only problem with MJPEG is the size of the video files. But, Mjpeg is more versatile than MP4/H264, it need less power to decode, and, it's still the format used in proffesionnal montage...

    MJPEG is just a suite of jpeg images, each image is independant from others, when H264/MP4 is a interpoled format with keyframes. The only benefit of H264 is the small file size, that's all..

    Search on google, "Mjpeg VS H264", and learn.

  • @couscousdelight FANBOY!!! video capture only mpeg.....no good.

  • all Pentax system needs is good silent focusing lenses. Lets hope that under new management they bring out some good glass.

  • A few incorrect facts thrown in there. Check Dpreview for correct weight and top iso level...

  • Love how they glued the SD Card Door shut ^^

  • @Kamis5050 haha oh right

  • @greekpanther1 750 Grams, as in weight mate ;p

  • I shoot with a Pentax K20D and considered upgrading to the K5 but for that much money, I am getting close enough to the Sony A850 to just go ahead and move up to full frame. I like Pentax but it is not better than the other available brands and it seems to be less competitive now than two years ago. .. feels like a dead end path to me.

  • It appears to be a great little camera. I'm still using my several generation old Pentax K10D, but at some point this will be my next camera. The improvement from the K-7 ISO capability to the K-5 is the game breaker for me.
