And see how the K5 works as a paperweight?

No, it won't work, though Pentax did say that they will continue to release bugfix firmware updates for the K-5 (i.e. if they discover a problem which dates back to the old K-5 and is also found in the K-5 II).

Thanks Adam :-)

Last week a local teenager wanted to see if he could beat the train... guess who won ! Some things are just plain dumb

that might be one of them. Let us know who wins though I doubt it would even work
