Is the Pentax K5 still a good option ?

It does render excellent images, and was a very prominent advance in the Pentax DSLR line up when it came about. The newer cameras in the aps-c flagship lineup lack the anti-aliasing filter, which since lacking causes the images to present more detail. Since the release of the K-5IIS, the aps-c flagship cameras have been made without the filter to be capable of this detail. The K-5 is certainly a great camera, I actually had two of them and sold them to buy new Pentax dslr cameras, but if you want to invest, you may want to purchase a new Pentax dslr which will have the advanced features/technology. Buying a newer model with a lens as a kit might be a wise decision for you. The offer being made to you may be attractive in many ways, I can see your point in considering it, and it might serve you well, but if you purchase newer equipment you will have access to the newer technology that comes with it which will accommodate the newer lens types and show you the newer feature types. It sounds like you are just trying to do the right thing, and my advice would be to be careful and purchase new equipment if possible. Like I mentioned,since the K-5IIS the detail factor has improved, so if you do not get a new camera, the K-5IIS to present dslr types would be providing the best imagery and modern performance.
