Ryan....can't fault you there, everyone has a certain degree of what they expect and a risk level they won't cross. I was once there on the K5.....crossed it and have not a single regret...and not a single problem...just all smiles. Most do seem to be well satisfied or they would find these different Forums and be blasting away...or sales would be way down, which does not appear to be the case.
Sometimes you take chances......more often than not actually. Is the K5 worth a slight risk? Absolutely it is, there is no question about that, just look at the many shooters that have suffered through several bodies to get a good one....they didn't do that for no reason, and most were still praising the K5 all the while...except for their specific problem.
I am flexible, will compromise thoughts at times, and concede on certain issues that may be in a gray area. I will not compromise that the K5 is one of the best DSLR's Pentax has ever made, and certainly among the best anyone has ever made in its class.
Now...can someone tell another Happy Story or post some photos? Otis....he keeps asking for naked photos...and I keep telling him he is in the wrong Forum....
Best Regards!
Mom's Cherry Pie....delicious to the last crumb! Accidentally used the 540 flash mounted separate from the K5 at ISO 12, 800. Flash was pointed straight up....but it will point any direction mounted or unmounted without problems.

The pie was better than my shot.....Mom makes the very best...except for your Mom...I bet she does good too?
