Originally posted by lowlight Well, the animals themselves don't have to be perfectly shot, it's more the movements so it could be just a blur or a set of indistinct points across the image. I know it sounds an unusual requirement. However, I would also like to do shorter exposures (e.g 30 seconds or a minute) to capture animals staying still in very dark conditions, so interested in how the camera performs for these types of photos.
Don't forget that the K5 can be set to do Interval shooting where you can set the camera up for 24 hours maximum cycle. I've only used my K5 for about 3 weeks now but very excited about it. Was on the Seattle waterfront 1 week ago in a rainstorm. used the K5 in the rain with the 50-135, the only WR lens i have. got some marvelous shots because there was some fog that hung in there with the rain.
Last night, i walked an old iron bridge at 9 PM at night. A few days before i was in a darkened theatre shooting a technical meeting for an upcoming play. What others haven't mentioned is the quiet shutter which i think would be very useful for wildlife.
best wishes for your new K5 :-)
