CANCELLATION? Someone hasn't read the DxOmark review!
Anyhow, if it's one of you cancelling... hurry up and confirm you're backing off so that I can get my order processed & hopefully shipped today!
WHEEEEE!
OMG! Just post the darn link... lol
DxOMark - DxOMark review for the Pentax K5
I have always trusted DxO and wow, to quote what they stated, "No need for suspense: this new 16.3 MP sensor is simply the best APS-C we have tested so far, sometimes able to compete even with very high-end full-frame cameras.
The overall score of the K5 puts it in the lead with 82 points — more than 9 points better than the D90 or the Alpha 55, and 16 points ahead of the Canon 7D or 60D. The K5 is literally the best APS-C performer for each segment, even in low ISO. "
I have never read a review so positive about a camera! But bear in mind, DxO only tests purely technical aspects of the sensor, not the overall experience and image results.
NOTE: Since Pentax is almost completely inept when it comes to advertising, I have attached a handout. :-)
