I think there's a lot of it about! I'm very shortly about to order a K-5 (with the 18-55 WR because it's cheaper after the Pentax cashback) from Jessops, with the help of a pile of Tesco clubcard vouchers

I have been thinking about upgrading for a very long time first with the K7, but did'nt feel that the K7 had anything much over the K20D, But the K5 is something special.
There is so much competition about at the moment with the cash back deals.
SRS are so reliable with great service I just could'nt resist.

Go on you know you want too. You have all the lovely summer weather to take pictures in. After September you will be testing it Weather Resistance in the Welsh rain

I just upgraded to a K-5 (from a K-R) today. Very excited! It's a great camera! So far, I love it, and you're gonna love it too!
Pentax K-5, Tamron 17-50, Tamron 70-300, Metz 50 AF-1 flash, and working on buying more lenses in the future. It never ends.

Yes cash back makes it cheap see! Buy it now and its not your birthday present as you say, so in September you can buy a nice lens for your birthday

Yes but what if it's because he's taking pictures with his new K5 rather than watching the road

Just to let you know that I have just this minute ordered a new body only K5 from SRS.
Due to be delivered on Tuesday, can't wait.
Keep eyes open in the classified section as the K20D will up for sale.
