So the camera finally comes, and then I tear my retina so off to Vancouver for emergency surgery. Now I have to keep my head looking at the floor for the next 3 days.
I guess I could take pictures of my feet but they are ugly, and unlike my wife I don't have cool shoes.
So far the camera seems fantastic, and I can't wait to take time and take photos.
Paul.

Hello I got my K5 yesterday and already have a question.
When I take a picure in RAW and upload to picassa at the far right there is a strange thin vertical strip, it has colours but not not enough definition to make anything out.
When I shoot in JPG it is not there.
I have tried a different memory card and same thing. has anyone else had this?

My K5 finally arrived, okay it only took 10 days from day of ordering so that is pretty good but I am not very patient.
I have charged up the battery, updated the firmware and now its bedtime:mad:
At least I don't have to be at work until 11 tomorrow.
I also received the da35mmf2.4 lens and from the playing around I did here, it takes nice photos of my camera bag and the stereo.
I have given my K10d to my daughter, along with an 18-55mm, and a 50-200mm zoom lens so she is set up okay.
That leaves me with the 35mm, 100macro and 55-300 zoom, all Pentax lenses.
Anyways its here and I am smiling.
Paul.

So I went ahead and purchased a K5 and a da 35mm lens, ordered tonight from 123easyship or something like that.
I was photographing the Snowbirds, the Canadian flight formation team here in Comox, and my 19 year old daughter was helping. She is the one who gets my K10 and some lenses to go with it.
Now watching the mail box is going to be my new hobby.

Hello, I have been reading this forum for a while and thought I had better introduce myself.
I have been a photo hobbiest since the early '80's starting with Minolta film cameras, then moving about 5 years ago to the K10d.
Now I am going to get a K5 to shoot my daughters upcoming wedding in September.
So I am wondering if I should get the camera now, or wait until July when maybe the price drops, if it drops at all?
Paul.
