Some of us never bought the K20D, either. I could justify the decision by mentioning a number of people who raised concerns about exposure accuracy, particularly with strong reds, with the new sensor. But those are excuses, not reasons. Then the K-7 came along. It still had that same sensor, and while in a lot of ways it was a vast improvement over the K20D, I felt that there were one or two things that would probably be fixed in a K-7s. With the K-5, I have no technical reason not to buy the camera. But at the moment I'm not sure it's a financially reasonable decision (especially since I'd want a grip as well, and I'm pretty sure that the 60-250 will find its way onto the order if I should weaken). I'm also in a photographic slump at present; I've hardly picked up a camera in the last six months. The K10D still serves me well. For that matter, the *ist-D still works, although the rear screen seems really tiny by modertn standards! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
