auto-focusing can be a little challenging. The K-5 d

I have shot a few indoor events, no flash with iso around 3200 or

I have no problems shooting in AWB with the K-5. I always make sure I have some

Welcome to the joys of K5-land.
K5 outputs DNG so no conversion needed. I used to shoot only jpg until I

You are going to LOVE the K-5. I think you will be happy with the AWB

You will need SD cards instead of the CF cards that the *istD uses
(and thus a different card reader/adapter). The cheap USB adapters on
ebay work fine.
