Moving to Pentax from Canon 5D MKII
Tired of lugging around huge/heavy lenses, including primes. I just want great image quality and smallish primes, and the K5 looks like what I need, along with some limited primes. Anyone want to switch to Canon let me know!

No problem! Hope you enjoy the Pentax brand more than canon, I know you will.

Welcome! My friend has a MKII and although the photos are AMAZING the camera is ridiculously big, to the point where it becomes extremely uncomfortable to hold in a very short period of time. Unless you are tripod shooting the camera is almost unrealistic to use for hand-held shooting. So I must agree that you made the right choice in switching.
