Thanks. And beauty part is, I didnt have to sell off any of my many
choice prime K and A
lenses to finance it. The only way I could have swung a K-1 would have
been by doing just that.

The improvement in image quality between the ist and the K-5 will be
tremendous (based on my K100 experience). This way you get the big jump
to the K-5, then later you get to enjoy another big jump to full frame.
Seriously though, apart from special situation, for the most part you
wouldn't notice the image quality difference between the k-5 and the
k-1. If I look at my photos from the trip it's not obvious at all which
ones I took with the K-1 vs the K-3. The big differences come in very
low light, and very wide lenses. Also being able to use legacy glass at
its nominal field of view.
But, yeah, you'll be thrilled. It'll take a while to learn how to get
the absolute best performance out of the camera. Don't be afraid to
push the ISO to at least 8000 in low light. I've got some great shots
from mine at 10,000 and even 25,000. Tav is incredibly handy.
