Wait until you upgrade the firmware and take those 24 frames at 7fps!
Even if you never need the feature, it is darned fun to hear your shutter's MTBF (mean time before failure) come racing at you.

Mine has just arrived

, battery charging!!!
Its really small compared to the K20D and the 50 f/1.2 looks massive on it.

If you're use to the K20d, you're going to want the grip for the K5. I hated the grips on the K10/20 but find the 7/5 very uncomfortable without the grip.

Welcome to the club and show us what you can do with it!
