Doesn't mean anything really though as I may have more or better if I had used another brand. Yes you can shoot sport with Pentax (unless you want a Pentax lens longer than 300mm of course or a top quality f2.8 zoom longer than 135mm
), but yes, I believe it's easier and better with C or N.
You must have missed the second part of my post then

I just wanted to show current Pentax owners how improved the K-5 is with sports/action compared to their current cameras. I'd be foolish to claim that it's up there with Canon and Nikon.
I should know, I switched from Nikon last year, and the one thing I really miss is good AF. Thankfully, sports/action isn't my only subject. Still, on more than one occasion I've second guessed my switch to Pentax, but one quick look at the cost to build a Nikon kit equivalent to my Pentax kit convinced me to wait a little longer. Thankfully the K-5 seems good enough for my needs. Now I've just got to win the lottery...
You've captured some nice action shots with the K-7. IIRC you had a rugby shot in the pouring rain that was great. It will be sad to see you go.
