Not only DOES the K-5 have mechanical SR but to this day (and I work as a video professional and have used basically every camera of the last 8 years or so) the best video shake reduction I encountered, only rivaled by the GH5. I started my filmmaking career with the k-5 and everyone envied me for my "skill" to be able to get gimbal or slider like shots shooting handheld and it was a real upset when I got my first mirrorless to see that this level of SR is not standard and has since not been achieved by many.

Haha, reading all the comments I might change my mind about the regret part, you're so adorable guys :D No, to be honest Im sure the camera will be great. And I still love my old K-5's look for photography and the raw is awesome. Couldn't push it nearly as hard on the Sonys Ive used. Just edited an old picture in Photoshop and being able to push 3,5 stops without a problem is incredible! And the noise of the k5 looks way more organic than on the Sonys.
But I make a living of filmmaking and need to have an versatile camera that shoots decent video. Of course, 4k might not yet be the most important thing and the IQ comes first, but the fact that it does not have 4k is a sign for me. I don't think Pentax might have learned how to implement decent video or maybe they don't care and that is okay but sad. The k-5 was a monster back when it was released, even concerning the video. It had MJPG, Mic-In, the best SR on the market (and I would even say it is still the best SR) and the image was pretty good even though it had no full manual control. I don't really get how they once threw so many video features that back then were ahead of their time (especially in the k-7) and now are kind of lacking interest in pushing the video limits in their cameras. I mean, other than Canon or Sony or Panasonic that all have to see how to implement good video without cannibalizing there higher-end more expensive dedicated video cameras Pentax could without any downsides implement beasty video and everyone would profit or at least have no disadvantage. I hope you get my point? They had a ton of time, the video market is big nowadays with everyone owning a stills camera being a filmmaker too and they could easily bring a game changer to the market but they don't. I bet there are many talented people at Pentax/Ricoh but this still does not seem like a good economical choice at all.

Hello Pentax community,
this time I'm gonna post a video that was not shot on a Pentax because buying a quadcopter that would carry my k-5 is tooooo expensive and out of reach at the moment. I still hope you enjoy the aerial view of Frankfurt at autumn! :) Looking forward to your feedback! And sorry for the bad youtube quality btw, looks sooo much better on my computer and I wish you all could enjoy it at the same (mostly shot at 4k) quality.
Yours sincerely
Carlos
P.s.: Feel free to like and share, if you think the video deserves it, every like helps me on a video contest by Sony :) If I win the a7s and sell it I might have enough money to buy the long awaited Pentax FF next year :)
