The 32GB is fine for your K5. As it is sold by Amazon, rather than fulfilled by Amazon, should reduce the risk of getting a fake.

The K5 manual (search for it online if you don't have it) says Storage Medium: SD/SDHC. The 64GB card you link to is marked SDXC, the 32GB card is marked SDHC. Unless you (or anyone else) can confirm that that SDXC cards are supported (perhaps added via a firmware update?) it would seem wise to stick to SDHC cards. SDHC cards are limited to 32GB.So simple question, am I ok with either of these cards

There are lots of websites giving suggestions for how to spot a fake San Disk SD card - easy to find by searching for it.

If you look on crapazon or fleabay, you'll probably get an 8 or 16 gb card pretty cheap. Refurbished ones are even cheaper.
Please, can someone elighten me as to how SD cards (of any make/variety) can be "refurbished" (apart that is from giving the connector a clean)???Sandisk.... I ...

PS: FWIW, I try never to use uSD cards in adapters - just one more set of contacts to cause problems.!
PPS: I also don't use SD cards or USB memory sticks apart from those branded Sandisk and have rarely, if ever, had a problem with that brand - usually bought from Amazon (NOT "marketplace"!) or Picstop on the Isle of Man. OTOH, I have had problems with similar products from "no-name" suppliers (esp on ebay or that "marketplace") and even from 7Day Shop in the Channel Islands) .
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)
