Thans for your comments! I guess I will just have to save and justify a K5 to my wife one day.
You could hack/force the K5 firmware onto the K7, someone has done that with the K10D forcing K20D firmware on it.

You might be missing some controls and features, why not wait till the K7 comes at that price?

(but unexposing is not a problem as there is so much you can pull out of the picture later, but you can't do anything about overexposure!)
Actually it's the other way around, you can get far more from overexposure then underexposure, as long as you don't clip it.

Like Mike, I've also set my camera at +0.7 EV.

I assume the camera should note the effect of the polarizing filter and adjust any settings as necessary if on an auto mode? NB I didn't have a polarizing filter when I had the first problems.
Yes because ité TTL metering the effect of the polarizing filter is in it, but be sure to use circular because linear do screw up the metering.

The other difficulty is how do you know what prints you'll get if you are printing out a decent print but the printers send a darker one? How can you prevent this?
Don't understand this part... but the printers send a darker one, you mean print instead of send?

Have you won the lottery????
No sadly not but they bring those limited editions only out when the camera model is over a year old so I can save some money for it.
If I get one next month I only need to save €90 a month and I would be able to buy the silver one when it's out

Thanks. I saw it, but the explanation was a bit different from what Kelly was saying.
Yes, but rear sync or trailing curtain sync are the same thing.
It's that the flash only fires just before the last/rear/trailing curtain closes.

Normally you wouldn't say that would have an effect to get the background brighter with flash but with these modes the camera meters as normal like without a flash so you get a longer exposure so more ambient/background light on your photo.

Like Gwyn said, Pentax calls it Trailing curtain sync and the pop-up flash of the K-X can do that.
Also the Af360, it's the icon with the flash on the differnt side of the arrow (sorry that I can't be clearer)

What metering mode are you using?

Didn't happen with the K10D and the K20D or when the K7 was released

Well they bought the K20D and K-7 out in Titanium as a special edition so no doubt it will be the same with the K-5 .. especially as its the same body as the K-7.
Yes most likely but why not bring it out as a normal edition.
I so want the silver one but don't want to wait an extra year

Could get the silver one as an extra body though...
