Hi there. I've finished reading all the reviews, and obsessing over stats and I've opted for a K-5 as my first DSLR and it's winging its way from SRS.
I've got a million questions which I'm trying to figure out without posting them all here but I suspect I'll be asking a few of them if I can't find the answers myself.
Thanks for all the help I'm sure to be requesting!

Welcome to the family, if you have a problem just ask.
Nobody will make you feel a total idiot, they save that for me...

Best advice I can offer is:
1) put the kettle on
2) put the battery on charge
3) make a brew
4) forget the battery for a while and immerse yourself in the manual
5) tear your hair out and log in to the forum for clarification
6) grow another hand cos' you won't be able to put the K5 down
My Names Alan, and I'm a lensaholic.

HHH. I have just done all of this ^^^^
Struggling around all the controls, and worrying about the graininess through the viewfinder.
Completed the first project from the book I got from the charity shop over the weekend.
All good! Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.

Well I say "Project"... It was apparentlyfrom the Bauhaus course, and meant taking 2 pictures of contrasting qualities, then a picture including both.
The book's The Image by Michael Freeman.
