Try shooting birds at 800ISO on a K20D/K-7

It's probably OK for shots like the above or people
just no use on feathers without a lot of PP.

The K-5 is 3rd generation and is streets ahead of what
was before it. I've kept my K20D as a backup, but I'm
keeping my fingers crossed that I don't ever need it

The Blackbird in my porfolio wouldn't have been possible with
the K20D it's at 800ISO

Have a look at what Bob thought of the K-5 when he moved from
the K-7 link

If I were in the market now I'd wait for a K-5 II to drop
to about £800.

Just some for the K-01

I agree with the general idea that spending money on lenses can give 'more bang per buck'. In the case of upgrading from a K7 to a K5 or buying lenses, then personally I'd opt for new lenses.....
What's the point of buying new lenses if you can't use them The K7 or K20D is pretty useless at anything over 400ISO which can be in the shade on a bright day. You also can't pull back underexposed shots. Cheap lenses work great on the K-5

I've just shot this in dim light in the kitchen with
the K-5 and an old 1950's Enlarger Lens held onto
some tubes by Blu-Tak...

Nice improvements to the 90mm though, changing to internal focusing....
Internal focusing shortens the focal length
as you move closer.... not ideal for a macro.
