Ok, confession time.
I love my K-5. No quibbles, no qualifiers.
However, I am getting a little older and still like to travel to interesting places with a minimum of luggage. Since I made gold elite on my chosen airline years ago, I have traveled to 14 countries on 4 continents with camera in hand (or on my back) and never checked a bag. One rollaboard bag and a small, underseat-sized backpack with most of my camera gear has been the norm for up to a month away. All good, but my senior citizen back has been complaining over the last couple of years so I have made a change in my (air) travel kit, now centered around a Sony NEX 5R. When I drive, I still use my Pentax gear but when I fly, the new kit goes.
Only time will tell on how image quality will compare.
Attached is a comparison of my two kits. I guess just to make me feel better. Taken with a cheap pocket cam so no sniping the quality.
