I've been using a K20D for junior soccer for the last 3 years. The first 2.5 years were with a DA 55-300/F4-F5. Since about June 2011 I've had the DA* 60-250/F4. I got a K-5 just after soccer season ended, so I will not have a chance to try it in this role until March-April 2012.
With the K20D I use TAv, with shutter speed 1/500-1/800s, aperture f/5-f/7.1, ISO 100-1600. If the K-5 is any better at focusing, I'll open the aperture of the f/4 lens to somewhere between f/4-f5.6, ISO range either 80-3200, 80-4000 or 80-4800 (to be determined).
I use AF.C (auto focus point selection) and hi continuous (only held down for the really interesting times). AF has been a problem with the K20D with the camera often getting the background in focus in between 2 players rather than either of the players. I've hoping the K-5 may be better in this regard. Otherwise, I'll have to work on my technique, use AF.S, centre-point AF, and manually lock focus on to a player first before taking a shot.
I shoot in raw. As well as the faster burst rate, the bit better high-ISO performance, I'm sure the K-5 will be much better than the K20D when it comes to dodging shadowed bodies & faces.
