TER-OR - Thank you, exactly what I am thinking.

Bestzoom - Thank you, I have been thinking the same.
I really appreciate and thank everyone for their responses. Buying my first camera (Specially on a tight budget) Does not look so easy as it sounds. I want the best and after my research K-5 looks like the best.
However the "known issues" of this camera is a big turn-off, naming the three most famous: Mirror Flop, Sensor blobs (spots) & the ghastly AF.
Now I am no longer contemplating the Pentax K5 vs the Canon 7D.
Looks like it has to be K-5 II then.
I am still thinking though. I wish I lived in one of those big camera stores like Adorama or B&H. I would practically be living inside those stores.
Thank you all again. I am just contemplating the ifs. Please bear.
Cheers!
