i think you will love the k5, but just dont think it will match the high iso f the d700 because it wont, also the af system of the nikon, but other than that its the muts.
and probaly he top crop sensor camera on the market.
but i still wanna know if the af is much better than the k7.

If your bothered about weight be sure to check the weights of the lenses. Some of the ones suggested are probably quite heavy? There's also a new 35mm f/2.4 Standard Lens for £150 which I believe is very light and performs well.

Good point, although after a D700 with a Nikor 24-70mm f2.8, a K-5 with 16-50mm or 50-135mm is likely to be a mostly positive experience

SEXY is always good Congrats on your son and I am sure that the K-5 will be the right choice. I still would go with the new 18-135 and get an 12-24 or 10-20. thank you Gwyn

As I say I jumped from Nikon to the K-5 and I have to say its one of the best ones I ever made.
Hope to see pics soon.
Kind regards

I had the 12-24mm and sold it on due to lack of use. Instead I bought a Sigma 12-24mm and have to say I am very impressed with it. Not quite up to the standards of the Pentax but considering the price difference I am more than happy with it. It's also FF compatible should Pentax ever bring one out and you feel the need again.
