You hear all sorts of things about the K5......the good, the bad, and the ugly. I suspect they might all be right just depending on the particular K5 in question, but if you have a good copy, it is indeed a fun and amazing camera to use.
Situation: You're in business office, medium to poor lighting, and want to get a snap of a pretty girl....but don't want to use flash and have it scatter all over the bank lobby.......Your subject is moving about a little, as people do.....so you need some speed, being a hand held shot, no flash. Having your K5 in TAv mode, you just dial in the speed you need and the aperture you want to use and let the K5 do the ISO for you......
Will you get a usable shot?
I took six quick snaps...all ended up at ISO 12,800 and all were reasonably usable. Love my K5!
What do you think Kathy...will it work?

I got the K5 to have fun....and it does indeed deliver in that respect......just relax and shoot, it will handle it!
Best Regards!
No...I was not cheating on Mrs Rupert or even thinking of it......anyhow, who would cheat with an old guy that smells like Squirrels?
