K5 Up for Camera of the Year

JessieMarie · 02-21-2011, 07:13 AM

Hey,

The K5 is up for Best New Camera 2010 in the About Photography Readers' Choice Awards. It's trailing (shudder) the Canon 60D right now. No registration required to vote.

Niice. Lets get to voting.

Spag · 02-21-2011, 08:50 AM

Pentax K-5: 22%
Nikon D3100: 25%
Canon EOS 60D: 40%

Jimfear · 02-21-2011, 09:40 AM

These polls are always interesting in the respect that there are a lot more canikon users out there, and I have a hunch they will stick to the own brand even though we all know the K-5 is better

KansasHorizons.com · 02-21-2011, 06:13 PM

Sony Alpha55 (a55) (74) 6%

Pentax K5 (407) 34%

Canon EOS 60D (407) 34%

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 (50) 4%

Nikon D3100 (253) 21%

Shoudn't that be a Nikon D7000??

**Clinton** · 02-21-2011, 08:23 PM

One forum post and the K-5 takes the lead. Lets keep those votes rollin!

**twilhelm** · 02-21-2011, 08:38 PM

with the Canon 60D at 33%

A-Craig · 02-21-2011, 09:02 PM

Canikon may have more users, but I think it's fair to say we are a more loyal bunch.

I thought it was generally agreed that the k5 was the worst Pentax ever. At least that's the impression I got from reading this forum :P
