The only difference between DNG and PEF from your perspective is the
file extension, and the fact that your version of ELEMENTS can open the
K-5 version, other than that nothing. The K20D and earlier cameras
exported DNG files that were 30-40% larger than PEF files, that's the
only reason

I have no problems shooting in AWB with the K-5. I always make sure I have some
frames with gray or white in them, so I can readjust white balance when
converting if necessary, but AWB usually nails it. Tungsten light would be an

I have shot a few indoor events, no flash with iso around 3200 or

Hi Ann:
Wow! What fun! You'll love the K-5. AWB is pretty darn good. It's my go-to
white balance and in Lightroom 4 any necessary tweakings are easy-peasy. High
ISO settings are excellent like others have said. But if it is a bit dark,
auto-focusing can be a little challenging. The K-5
