The K5 seems to be a different camera with his high ISO capabilities and hopefully faster AF so this has very little do with with your capabilities but more of what your needs are.Well I wont be investing in a K5 until I have managed to get the best out of my K20D.......and I have a long way to go before I reach that!
I'll buy the K5 when it's out for his high ISO and the faster AF and it will be my walk around camera.
I'll keep the K10D, there is no Pentax camera that can beat his low ISO performance so the camera will be perfect for studio use and landscapes (if i'll do them).

Buy the K5 now and the 645D in January, easy right I'm tempted, but I'm also tempted by another camera, the one with a very large sensor. And my wife said I can only get one camera this year. I'm still trying to find a way around that...

Um... Are you saying the K7 might fit the K20D but the K20D won't fit the K7:
the k7 what?Um... Are you saying the K7 might fit the K20D but the K20D won't fit the K7:
The battery from the K10D or K20D might fit in the K7 but don't hang me if it isn't so.
The batteries are the same size and the connections are so far as I know the same as well (accept for the middle connection from the K7, that's i believe for battery temperature).
The batteries from the K20D are B shaped the battery of the K7 is D shape.
Because of the little nick in the B shaped battery the D shape battery won't fit in the K20D but... the B might fit in the D.
Someone who has the K7 might be able to confirm if they fit or not.

This already possible, I believe it was either Sony or Philips who have such a screen for commercial use, still to expensive for most mortals.I personally think 3D will be one of the quickest passing fads ever seen. (Until we can see the effect without those stupid glasses anyway).
however the Nintendo 3DS comes with a 3D screen that doesn't need glasses so the future is near.

We did some test with a linear polariser so far as we know it only effects the exposure metering.
With Pentax the AF seems to be unaffected.

It's really a personal thing.
Some like to be close to their subjects so they use a wider lens others like to keep a bit of a distance so use a longer lens to get the same framing.

Dynamic range is quite a technical term I don't think it's so easy to promote but I do hope that will become better.
Video and HDR will most likely be the promotion thing of this and next year, together with 3D maybe (surely for compacts just look at photokina).

In that case why have Pentax gone to the enormous expense of developing a new focus motor? Most people whose SDM hasn't failed seem happy with it, so I can't see much beyond reliability that they gain by doing so.
After all, no use upgrading the focusing in the K-5 if their lenses can't keep up.
The SDM motor has more torque needed for the heavier elements in the faster DA* lenses.
At least that's my understanding form the whole.
So.
DC for lighter the lighter lenses (normal DA)
SDM for the heavier lenses (DA* lenses)
