the job so
that I obtain the best result. Pentax used to provide very adequate

however now it seems they are off in another direction.
Rob, if you are looking for top-notch very low light performance from
camera, then there's no choice - only Canon 5D is capable of giving
you that. It seems that other producers continue to build APS-C
sensor based bodies and it seems that it won't change in the nearest
future, even Canon has shown new EF-S 17-50/2.8 IS lens. APS-C will
probably stay as a standard for DSLRs while FF cameras will become
niche for specific demands like yours. If I would be you and could
only afford it I would really switch to 5D and a few high speed L
lenses.
