Hi Ann Welcome to the joys of K5-land. K5 outputs DNG so no conversion needed. I used to shoot only jpg until I finally got the hang of LR, now it is Raw only. LR can take care of fixing the WB, I think mine is set to cloudy on the camera. (Bruce had it for a while so have to check :-) High ISO is awesome, I will shortly post a shot taken handheld from back of an auditorium. This link brings you to a set of photos taken with just the avail ligth indoors: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.299828163432435&type=1
Hope that helps a bit Gerrit -----Original Message----- From: PDML [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ann Sanfedele Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 11:09 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: soon to be enabled I good firend of mine is getting married in August.. he wanted to hire me to shoot the wedding - but only the portraits and the brief wedding ceremony - not the reception (so I can eat and socialize) someone else is doing that. At first i begged off... my *istD isn't up to that and especially after this recent battery episode, not high enough ISO, etc But the I realized I could do it for him inexpensively by wedding photog in nY standards for sure - the price of a K-5! His check is in the mail and as soon as I get it I'll be looking for the best price (well, I already am doing that) Saw an LN at KEH for about $550... I need to get it soon and practice. Have enough for that and spare batteries... don't need to have a brand new one. IF anyone notices a better deal than that KEH one or has some sage words about making the K-5 behave well , or some things to watch out for in switching from the D... I'm hoping to shoot without using flash at all. How does the AWB fare? My habit with the D is to simply load all the raw files onto my computer from the card reader without renumbering/renaming the raw files - do any of you do both the PEF and the jpgs? any suggestions at all are welcome. boy, it is nice to be back!
