This is my favourite Digital Camera. I was in a shop and compared much of them, Canons, Nikons and this one was for me the most userfriendly. The Quality of this Product is outrageous. There are some rumours that this Camera has Sensorproblems, and indeed it had, not mine, but the first ones. This was not Pentaxs fault, it was a faulty produced sensor as I know from Sony. Later they fixed it. There is a Highclass Nikon using the same sensor. It had problems too which are now fixed. This Camera is fast, has much settings and is in good, wheather resistent build quality. You can use all Pentaxy AF lenses, much third party lenses and with an adapter without optical correction needed (like Nikons) all M42 lenses. So this is a Top Camera for Professional ambitions and for experementing with for example old Zeiss or russian lenses too. With no other Brand you get so much Camera for so little moneyRead full review
O.k. I'm a Pentax user for more than 15 years - so I'm not objective ;) I had before the K-5 the K-7 - my first digital Pentax SLR. The following things are improved: noise performance and autofocus speed. The rest is nearly the same to the K-7. But for my favorite theme "Landscape with stars" this body is big step forward. The rest is usual Pentax quality - nearly water and dust resistent. You mus'nt be worry, if you shoot in the rain or very near to a waterfall. That's what I love about Pentax.
Until now I was a Pentax-Fan. But: Hands off from this camera. The first one I bought had a sensor defect (two large spots). I could give it back to the seller because I realized the defect within the deadline. The second I bought had what is called the "perl-chain-effect" in the internet forums, a serious sensor defect too. I sent it to the Pentax-repair-service and they told me that I have to wait alt least four weeks until I get it back. eddybox
