A K-5 has such a wide-dynamic range that you can underexpose and bring the visible colours back from the RAW files.
I did see a webpage recently where the blogger was showing the technique. Just can't remember who it was.
This nuthatch was originally just a black frame. I pulled back a few stops from the DNG.

Under the shade of a tree 1/125th f/8 400 ISO ..... well underexposed. I wouldn't have got anything at the right exposure due to handholding a 500mm lens.

Pentax should now advertise their products as 'Ideal fpr someone who has no interest in photography' They just need to have a passion for spending money... like they do on all that Apple gear, sunglasses, Fitbit watches etc.

Photography as those of us who came from film died long ago. Very shortly all you will need is something like an 8K video camera at 60 fps and just grab the decisive moment from about an hour of video. Anything you want in the shot can already be photoshoped in.
Most people lost the ability to see depth in photos with the arrival of monitor screens. Candids with anything longer than 55mm would have been laughed at in the 70's
The only short term future for still cameras is very expensive profitable ones plus expensive lenses. Nothing really to tempt new buyers.
Last time I looked the sales ratio of DSLR cameras to lenses was about 160%. So any mirrorless newbie manufactures had better get a crack-on producing mirrorless lenses. Bodies alone won't pay the bills.

Fabulous buildings and amazing colours and of course very well taken.
The buildings are not quite as colourful as the Cork accent
