Yes but what if it's because he's taking pictures with his new K5 rather than watching the road
LOL - then at least he'll have had some fun with it. Better that than get run over becuase he was daydreaming about it

I got my K5 for Christmas in early November, I did intend to wait for my birthday the following June but realised I would miss out on all that low light shooting over the coming winter, and of course I could have waited until the price dropped and saved nearly £300 but then I'd have missed out on 18 months of having it.

If you've got the cash and intend buying one then why wait, lifes too short to wait for birthdays, and you could always stick it back in the box and wrap it up

Guess what I am now the proud owner of.
Battery being charged ready for when I get home from work to have a play.
