The K-5 is a different camera all together. Has HDR features, video (but no 21 FPS), can turn vertical photos on the screen, it's faster AF, faster FPS, larger (MP) CMOS and a lot of other stuff.
I'd use 100 ASA for anything if possible, since the image quality is at its best here - especially for portraits, landscape and in the studio. Higher ISO is for environments with less available light. Regards Jens (own both camera models) -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
