So how good is the K-5 sensor
I'd be curious to see how these figures translate into real world IQ. There's been plenty of real world pics from the K-5 posted already :) These DXO scientific tests simply reinforce the great quality of the pics I've seen already.

Not sure a remote release will do extended exposures, never used one :? Mike Hi Mike, yes it will - used IR remote with my Kx. It can also be set so that the first press opens the shutter and the second closes it. Very nice for single long exposures, not much use for shot stacking though. Yo...

My order for a K5 goes off first thing Monday. Can anyone tell me, is the battery in a K5 the same as a K10? David

The K10D uses the same battery (D-LI50) as originally used by the Maxum 7D (NP 400) identical batteries which pleased me no end to have a common battery platform. No, it doesn't. It may be the same or a similar size physically, but the NP400 is 1500 mAh and the Pentax DL-I50 is 1620 mAh. :)

John is correct in that the Pentax issue battery is supplied as 1620mAh. The 'DL-150' is in a way a generic battery as it is standard to more than one item rather than Pentax specific. i.e It is the same battery as the Minolta NP400 Battery (VB104055)+ other items across the camcorder range, with...

Well thanks all, especially MikeP. All I needed to know was if my spare K10 battery could be a spare for the K5 also. Answer: Nope. David

For low iso 'considered' shooting the K10 is still a superb tool, not sure it's worth selling at todays prices. The beauty of the K-5 is not just the sensor at higher sensitities but the whole package in terms of usable improvements - AF speed, quiet shutter, burst rate, electronic level etc. Of c...

So how good is the K-5 sensor
The DxO charts are all very interesting... but what about real world everyday use? I tend to use my K-7 at ISO 100 for 95% plus of my shots. Anyone made any serious comparisons of the K-5 and K-7 at low ISO values?

So how good is the K-5 sensor
I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference if you compared a well exposed K-7 and K-5 shot at low ISO. But the high signal to noise ratio and larger DR means you have much more leeway in correcting exposure in the shadows with the K-5. There might not be any need for bracketing exposures or ND ...

So how good is the K-5 sensor
Had I not wanted the faster AF I doubt I would have sold my K-7 as I mainly shoot at low ISO as well. I found it fine up to around ISO 1600 anyway.
