Just wanted to brag a little, I've been shooting with my k200d for the past 3 years, great camera but I needed more.. So I am now the proud owner of the sexy K5.. just needed to get that out!!!

cheers

Smeggypants · 03-12-2011, 07:07 PM

Well done!!!

The K-5 is a fantastic camera. Even though my copy suffers the front focus problem, I still love it.

I'll have mine on Monday....first shot will be a handsome Squirrel! I have already signed Otis to a contract for a bag of premium corn and a pound of shelled pecans for ten minutes of his time.
Post us some shots as soon as possible!
Best Regards!

Congrats. I got mine last Thursday. Took it out today for the first
time, but haven't had a chance to look at results yet. I'm sure
you will love your new toy

Onittelut kaikille uusien K-5 omistajille ja onnistuneita kuvaushetkiä.
Itse odottelen omaani vaihto K-5 , on ollut jo 41 pv, kun lähetin omani huoltoon.

great stuff...mines pretty awesome with the new firmware..AFC is quite something now with the sigma 70-200.

got this shot today . amongst many others. {a k5 will do that to you}..LOL

welcome to the K5 users matey

**eaglem** · 03-13-2011, 01:19 AM

That is an excellent shot. And when you say the Sigma 70-200mm I assume that is the F2.8 model I've been thinking about getting. May I ask how much you paid for it?

TOUGEFC · 03-13-2011, 01:26 AM

Congrats mate! Im the same, had my k200d since 2008 and will be picking up a K-5 next weekend cant wait!

sigma 70-200 HSM 11 @ F4..paid $500 au used from a Perth ex Pentax user...

not so good at F2.8...but great at F4 and beyond

Miten uusien Pentax kameroitten saanti on tulevaisuudessa japan. Ja saavatko kaikki halukkaat K-5 ja ne joiden K-5 on vaihdossa.

mgm2 · 03-13-2011, 07:19 AM

Congrats! I upgraded from the K200 as well. You won't be disappointed, it's a magnificient camera.

Just ordered a K-5 from Adorama. Good price. 30 day return policy, if necessary. Excellent help from Helen and Fred with my questions.

Thank you Forum Members for the encouragement and knowledge you share. Now I must save some bucks for new glass!

I feel like a 10 year old waiting for Christmas to arrive.

Are you waiting for the brown truck?

Welcome to the club! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

war eagle · 03-13-2011, 10:38 AM

The brown truck can't get here fast enough. I have a distinct feeling "enjoy" will be an understatement.
