Well Ann, you're going to get a huge increase in real resolution, and the files will tax your computer's capabilities. Now that you've got good eyes, you can enjoy it. You might want to check out buydig for a new K-5. They're selling for less than S100 more there than KEH is asking for good used ones. Sometimes buydig also has coupons that can save you a bit more too.

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!

Regards,
ann
