Attention to all the K-5 users, I know we love the K-5, and we have great reviews on this forum, but let's hit the bhphotovideo.com and other online stores to review this camera, so others out there that might be interested in the K-5 can have a good sense of how good this camera is...

That review was ok.

Prevalent hot pixels in video mode are quite wide spread. My K-7 doesn't have it but I've seen others having 1 to 3 such hot pixels, red most of the time.

Hot pixels in video easily develop because of the heat and cannot be mapped out because of the subsampled read-out procedure -- they would require a separate map out algorithm and still wouldn't be invisible due to the lower resolution.

So, expect the K-5 to have the same thing which is simply hard to avoid, esp. as K-5 and D7000 have a very similiar sensor.

Note how B&H says for the D7000: "This item is backordered by the mfr. We have no delivery date at this time."
