sounds like quite a few are now taking up the K5...did the arrival of FW 1.03 affect the decision ?
Im picking one up locally in 2 days, no the FW1.03 didnt affect my decision.
Theres enough in the savings piggy bank for me to go and get one now

I was just waiting for an IRS refund, that FW 1.03 is out is nice but did not impact my decision. My decision to buy was made 2 months ago, just waiting for the funds.

Nyt on aika ostaa K-5, kaikki viat korjattu ja hinta kohdallaan. Nyt niitä saa nopeasti, kun heti tilaa. Kohta kaikki kameranhinnat nousee yksi syy japani tarvitsee rahaa uudelleenrakentamiseen.

The K-5 arrived this morning. The battery is charging and I am getting very excited. Going to have a fun weekend with my new friend. Sunsets on the beach, train show in Tampa, playgrounds, walking around town.

Cannot wait!
