Congratulations. I wouldn't say that I'm deliriously happy with mine, though others may. My only complaint is that I didn't have one sooner. On the other hand, I feel, and hope, that pushing against the limitations of my previous cameras has made me a better photographer. I haven't yet explored the expanded ISO. Does that change the circuitry at all? Or if it's done via math, are you just as well off shooting at 12,800, underexposing and processing in lightroom? All of my previous cameras have felt like "interim" cameras, with some major drawback that prevented them from being my long term main camera. I don't feel that way about my K-5. I have no doubt that I will want the improved performance, and features of newer models down the line, but the K-5 feels like it has enough performance for what I need. I haven't tried nighttime landscapes yet, and I'm interested to see how it does with night sky noise. If you're anywhere near as happy with your K-5 as I am with mine, you must be insufferable to be with. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
