this dumb*** is saying Nikon D7000 is better than Pentax K-5 even when every review out there says otherwise.

The thing is, the prattling of this nincompoop aside, the D7000 is probably a very fine camera, and better than the K-5 if you have a good collection of Nikon glass or need the redundancy to dual SD slots or some of the other features that the K-5 lacks.

It's sixes.

Lets drop all this chit about comparing the 2 cameras, we know the K-5 is better and they think the D7000 is better. End of story.

Not in a single serious review so far (except for the Troll).

Well, I really like the full magnesium alloy body and SR in body that K-5 has and the D7000 doesn't! What the D7000 has to offer over the K-5? 39! AF points? Dual card slots... What?

This. D7000 can't mount pentax glass. That's all that is important.

Gahahaha. Zing!

But the K-5 can't mount Chase Jarvis. So Nikon wins this round...

The other thread on this biased 'review' is choc-a-block full of discussion on the two cameras - best to continue it there.

Call for this one to close...

Somebody should go in business and make pills for that too... You're in for billions...

Instead of worrying about whether a K-5 is a better camera technically or not, you should be worrying about whether a person with a D7000 can take a better, more interesting picture.

d7000, k-5, sony alpha-55 got the same sensors. sony's body uses only 75% of light for it's locked up mirror. for that reason in this body the sensor performs worse, but d7000 and k-5 are very simmilar. due to dxo tests k-5 sensor performs better than d7000. here's the link to sensor ranking, where k-5 is 5th and d7000 is 10th DxOMark - Sensor rankings

And who is this guy? He completely dogged the K5; made it to be a non-professional camera, with no good sensor with worse high ISO quality than the D7000. Wow! I wonder how much Nikon paid this dude.
