Needed another Pentax body and saw this one. Verified low shutter count 3,236, looks like new (although this is quite an old DSLR model; 16 mega pixel & year of manufacture 2012). Battery charged okay, took it out and works fine. Takes the K mount lenses, It is quite compact and light weight but has metal body so it is robust. Ideal for travel photography, cycling trips, etc when you want something more versatile than a "happy snapper" type camera.

Still getting used to the camera; one oddity is that auto focus is activated by a button on the camera back rather than the more conventional half press on the shutter release. Overall I'm very pleased with the results from the camera.

A great tool for the enthusiast photographer, highly customizable and very versatile. It keeps backwards compatibility with all K-mount lenses. Its size is ideal and -especially when coupled with a compact lens - very easy to carry around. When used with a WR Pentax lens, one feels the freedom to go and shoot even at the more "uninviting" conditions (dust, moisture, rain etc).. It does have a learning curve but the rewards once you learn a few things are worth it. (the 4/5 s on picture quality and features are only because the sensor's size is not full-frame ;)
I’m primarily a canon user (30+ yrs) The K-5 is a breath of fresh air. Everyone talks how good canon interface is, how good canon colours are… erm, excuse me, might I suggest you just try a Pentax. Completely opened my eyes. Fantastic colours, I love the Pentax interface, brilliant. Canon may be considered the market leaders by many, it’s true they are superb cameras. But credit given for Pentax, I simply was not expecting this. I’m literally stunned. Like living in a darkened room and someone has just thrown open the windows….. Why not see for yourself??

This is one of the best cameras i ever tried. Pentax have a way of building cameras that is unique. it was in the alanog era e its now again. when you hold this camera you feel that it´s made to last, many many years. just like the Spotmatic or the one behind this design, the Pentax LX. Every feature that you need to take a picture is one button away. the image quality is superb, the size and ergonomics could not be better. The price is great. try to buy a canon 7d for this money! and ou have awesome extras features, like hdr in camera, timelapse in camera, real time preview of WB change, shake reduction intra body. You have to trie it to know how good it is.
