Originally posted by MartinEA Well I have decided against getting one for my wedding work at present. However, the price of a new K5 is now just £649 as it has a cash back offer on it at present. I am intrigued by this camera. I did go to my local shop and try it out and have pics at home etc. Now when I go out I really don't want to becarrying a 5D Mk 2 and a 24-70 lens on so I am going to buy a K5 and one primeas my enjoyment for the sake of taking photographs camera.
Will let you know how it goes.
You may want to check out my videos on Youtube re: the K-5 and LTD's. Also my video comparing the 5DII and Pentax mx. I switched from the 5DII and 7D to the K-5 because the "big plastic computer blob camera" syndrome was sucking all my photographic creativity right out of me...
I'm very happy now!
(But if I was shooting a lot of weddings still, the flash system would be my number 1 reason to go with Nikon, and I'd skip the D7000 because it falls on the side of the consumer accessories, not the pro accessories. I'd either pick up some D300's or wait for the next model. The Canon flash system was/is the WORST I've ever used. My Vivitar 285's do a better job. But the Nikon Sb-800/sb-900's ROCK!)
