While I RTFM, I'll ask those who've gone before me for important highlights
changing from a K20 to a K5.
Button placement is mostly a case of teaching my fingers, but there are a lot
of new features, and seemingly minor ones can prove to be very handy. Also some
things worked so poorly on the K20 as to be useless, but are surprisingly
helpful on the K5.
What differences do I need to know about to get the most out of my new camera?
Also, while the sensor is amazing, there is a huge difference between ISO 100
and 6400 for something like landscape photography. What ISO ranges are suitable
for what purposes?
Could you use 200 almost any time that you'd use 100? What about 400?
I frequently use ISO 400 in good light with the K-5, just to get the shutter
speed. The noise is negligible. That wasn't true of the K20.
You'll also find that the k-5 battery gives you quite a few more exposures than
dos that of the k20. I use the battery pack as well, and have never exhausted
the two batteries. Don't think I've even come close.
Unfortunately, I can't elaborate more on the differences. I used the K-7 in
between, and the K20 is a bit of a blur.
