I hadn't actually taken the time to look at the K5 before todays e-mail from pentax.
I purchased an entry level Kx last year and it serves my needs more than adequately.
So when the K5 and Kr came out i gave them a glance, noticed the price tags and just decided not to look at them too closely because then i might convince myself that i needed one.
Well, today i checked out the new silver K5 and wow, that camera is something else.
I think they hired some really good designers at pentax to make their cameras look great.
When i look at other brand dslr cameras, i notice the form follows function style and well, it doesn't really excite.
However looking at my Kx and the new line up from pentax, i notice the flow and layout of the dials and switches, the radius of the edges, the textures, it all looks deliberate and not an afterthought.
Silver really makes that K5 pop.
I need a silver K5, so so much, along with the limited silver lenses.
