That was fun! The 645D is indeed awesome... but I came home really wanting a k-5. :) And a 55 /1.4. Getting to see - and touch -- all that Pentax gear in one place is such a rarity! We were very busy testing everything, and conducting side-by-side comparisons of all available models:

AFAIK K-5 is same as K-7, i.e. much smaller than a K10D. I'm just as happy with my K10D as with my buddy's K-7 even though as well as because there is a little less bulk and weight - K-7 has a better shaped battery grip, K10D is a bit steadier to handle in landscape. Personally I'm saving up for a

It's smaller. It would be too small for me without the grip, but with the trip it's excellent. It's shaped better than previous Pentax DSLRs -- more of a built in grip that is properly proportioned. The same as the K-7 if you've tried that. Paul On Nov 6, 2010, at 4:28 PM, David J Brooks
