Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
These sort of artificial comparisons really miss the point entirely. If you need a backup, just take a spare body. This can be any Pentax DSLR as you are unlikely to need it, but if you do... It's the boring solution in many ways, but mixing systems doesn't gel and enable trouble free shooting. Y...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
The I would really just take a backup body, it's a painless approach. We always take one backup body between us.

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Unless you're doing a pro shoot you don't need a backup camera. I dont' do pro shoots and I take two bodies out with me. Unless you want to make life difficult, a second K-5 is the logical solution for full compatibility. I would say get a second K-5 as well. Mike-P warned me that using eve...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
It's OK people saying you don't need to take a backup but when you've spent thousands on getting there / hotels /side trips and food then you want to ensure you are covered if the worst happens and your primary is stolen / damaged / suffers a fault. That's what I'm looking to do. I agree. You can't ...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
^^ agree on both points; the K10 is nice, still, but I have to re-think every time I pick it up and stuff like changing ISO - Fn, select, OK, as opposed to ISO-rotate is kind of irritating. Which is why I think I might be trying to justify another K5 at some point. Bret

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Stefan - as I said above there is an adapter for virtually every manufacturer (EOS / Nikon / MD / PK / Ricoh / M42 / CY / Leica and so on and so on). I know but that wasn't the question that i asked, i asked which function are still working. Like i said there is a NEX to EOS mount that allows auto ...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
A second body is surely useful (even as an amateur) to give flexibility with focal length, and avoid changing lenses? That last is pretty useful here, as it can be windy and dusty for three seasons even in the southern part of the continent. In the centre there's the risk of dust 12 months of the ...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Like i said there is a NEX to EOS mount that allows auto aperture and focusing so i'm curious if anyone has seen one for the K mount as well. Makes me wonder if anybody has tried to mount on a NEX. That would not look silly at all. Actually I'd like to see one mounted on a Q!

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Makes me wonder if anybody has tried to mount on a NEX. That would not look silly at all. All sorts of such stuff on the MFT forums. At a certain point the camera becomes a negligible part of the weight and size of the system. At that point there is no real difference between a smaller body and a ...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Today I went hands on with all of the EVILs ; Samsung, Ricoh, Olympus, Panasonic and of course Sony's NEX C3 (did I miss any ?). Ergonomically they all felt better than the Sony TBH - but spec-wise they lag behind. I asked for and received a PK to E adapter ($30 if I want to buy it - I've seen them...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
I'm new to DSLR, but on balance, surely a sturdy decent specced body with the same mount is the way forward? Would have said a K7, but you've just flogged one :) K10 or K20 for budget? NEX does look an interesting bit of kit though. Just to throw another possibility into the mix, have you conside...

Ricoh GXR with a K mount module (if they make one)is the answer surely as hen you'll have auto with your Pentax glass 'Really why does Pentax not have an EVIL camera?' thread is discussing this
