I would like one of the bodies with audio input for better video recording. That means a K7 or one of the three K5 bodies. But since I will be going used that means K5 or K7. I'm leaning K5 just because of less age. Which would you choose and why? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

The sensor in the K5 is absolutely fantastic in low light. I have only shot a couple of video clips with it but it seems to perform similarly in video mode. The K5 has a an input to connect an external stereo microphone, essential for serious videos. Philip Northeast
