Stumbled across this forum while researching the k-5. I was originally looking at a 7D or d7000 and found a review with the K-5 including showing it doing some serious damage to both of the cameras I was looking at originally. After looking at a few more reviews, I started seeing a trend. So as it stands now, I'm looking forward to moving up from my current Canon into the world of Pentax! Ordering my unit on Thursday this week and can't wait to take it out and get some work done. I've been doing photography for 20+ years, going way back to darkroom work in high school processing my own images using a good old Minolta Maxxum 7000. Those were the days!! So much easier to do post processing these days.
Already loaded up with LR3 and CS5 and have been using that for my Canon images but I'm really excited to see what the K-5 brings to table. Great forum you all have here!!
