That's what most all owners will tell themselves. Both before and after receiving. Each new image will be examined to judge what detail would not have been so defined with the K-5. Enjoy! Seriously.

Handling and form factor are identical to the K-5. Autofocus seems a bit better, both faster and more accurate, especially with the DA55/1.4...but also the FA31mm Limited. The 3rd party battery grip I've brought along from the K-7 (& K-5) works fine. It's just a little bit of an upgrade, but it beats my K-5.
