K5 - Help with big decision

I would consider the jump to the K5 from anything other than a Kr to be well worth the outlay, and even then I think the Kr is only up there because of its high ISO handling.

Moving up from any of the previous entry level models is (IMHO) a huge step up the ladder.

Thanks for kind comments everyone. Hopefully the K-5 will be mine at some stage

A bit late in, but let me just add how much I like your bird shots. They're just sumptuous, and belie the obvious effort that must have gone into capturing them.

Of course, it obviously helps to have a fiancee that can clearly charm them out of the trees. Can she train my other half to do that?

Thanks mate!
