I just cant get the camera to do what i want it to do

Can you post some examples?
Are you shooting RAW or JPEG?
Are you post processing the images?
Is it a focussing issue. i.e. are the images soft?
The K-5 is a seriously good camera, so unless you've got a dud, or there's something seriously wrong with the settings or the lens you should get much better results than your DS and K10.
If there's someone experienced with a K-5 living fairly close to you, I would suggest a day out with them so you can compare notes and compare images.

I know when I look at photos I took with the Ds they have more zing and clarity to them straight from the camera than anything from the K-5. I felt like you when I upgraded from a Ds to a K20 and on the the K-5. Thought I'd made a terrible mistake but with practice the K-5 produces far better photos.
Are you shooting jpeg or RAW? If jpeg what are the settings you use?

And because you are friendly thats why you are in exile
i have been shooting in jpeg as i have never done any in raw there is a couple on my gallery from the last couple of days the metering seems to be up the creek and as you said it is so different to the k10/k20
Think one off the reasons is it dont feel right in the hand ether

Just had a look at the two K-5 images on the Gallery and they both look over-exposed to me. Try knocking back the exposure a stop or so and I think this may well help a good deal.
K-5 RAW images need to be processed to get them to sparkle but the JPEGS should be good straight from the camera.

Took me a little time to get used to the K5 when I moved up from the K10.
I'm sure you will get some help from the others on here but I am just up the road near Thatcham if you get stuck.

Hi Stu

Thats handy to know bob you have a grip by any chance
as i would love to try it with a grip to see if i can get the feel right of the camera because i think that may be one off the biggist problems i have
regards stu
I think I am used to the K5 now but I did find it took a while to get used to the layout. I didn't find the size a problem but I have small hands, probably why I haven't used the grip much!
