- K-5 is significantly better built
- K-5 is far better with old 'manual' lenses and makes these an absolute pleasure to use (more accurate exposure, brighter viewfinder)
- K-5 has a better LCD screen
- K-5 has a built-in level (it works great on mine and is accurate)
- K-5 ROCKS!!
However, K-x is a fantastic camera and I will not be selling it anytime soon.

have any specs been released? If money was no object how much better than the K5 can it be? But it is a good point Mike-P hadnt really thought of the extra cash and k5s are going at a good price at the moment
