Originally posted by pichur What sold me is the ability to go fully manual, which is all I know.
I bought my K-5 for the same reason 4 years ago. I used a K1000 for 25+ years, All I wanted in a DSLR was fully manual control
Originally posted by pichur I don't intend to use the plethora of options it offers. I will shoot jpg, and am not interested in in-camera processing or post processing other than having prints made direct from the file.
A year ago, I might have agreed with you, but most of the in-camera options are actually easy to use, and can really produce some interesting effects, both enhancing normal pictures, or creating something surreal.
In any case, welcome! Take a look around ,consider joining any of the groups listed in my signature, and I look forward to seeing your pictures.
