Shutterbug Magazine; Pentax K-5 Body Review

One of the featured reviews in the October 2011 issue of Shutterbug magazine is the Pentax K-5 digital SLR.
The test report is done by Joe Farace and if you were expecting a hyper-critical evaluation and general dismissal of Pentax as a player in the "Semi-Pro" market, you will be suprised.
Farace goes to great length to point out the impressive features of the K-5, comparing many of it's virtues in a favorable light to Canon and Nikon SLR's.
His final paragraph sums up his analysis; "A Pentax K-5 body sells for $1399.99 and while there are less expensive 16 megapixel (or more) cameras available, you won't find a better one."
There are several comparison photos, a detailed user's report, and overall a fair and complete description of the camera's capabilities.
Definitely a worthwhile read for all Pentax users!
Ron
