If you wanted to consider a Gx20 (K20 clone) then I have one here. Noise wise theres not a lot difference in the sensor from my experience with the GX20 and K7.

Having a K5 and K7 as well something has to go.
Had the GX20 since new, lightly used as I aquired a K7 less than a year later, shutter count was 7614 (will be a few more than this as I've taken a few shots to make sure everything is ok). All boxed with bits and pieces you'd expect etc, plus a couple of non branded spare batteries and I can throw in the Magic Latern K20 user guide for good measure. It has had a K20 GGS screen protector on the back a few days after purchase. Overall excellent condition. (see pics). some pictures in my gallery will have been taken with this camera.
Genuine Samsung boxed battery Grip, hardly used VGC.
Price :
Boxed GX20 £245 inc RMSD,
Boxed Grip £75 inc RMSD

Thanks for all the comments. I took loads of pictures over the 3 days and struggled to narrow it down to some of my favorites. I'll look through and post some more.
With the K5 I generally shoot in TAV mode and use auto ISO, adjusting the aperture until I'm happy with the results. Some of the darker shots ISO was quite high ie 2000 +. Shutter speed varies depending on light and the effect I was trying to achieve.
Trying to freeze the cars coming towards me I would try for 1/2000 or higher, although some at 1/1600. However with the rain in was also nice to freeze them side on and capture the water spray.
Panning shutter speed varied from 1/80 to 1/500, I feel the water allows a faster shutter speed and still gives the effect of movement. Did not use SR, did use a monpod for head on shots. Most of these shots are cropped.
All shots taken from grandstands looking at the cars coming round the corners for head on, Club corner is good as theres no general admission in front of you so you're quite close to the track if you get to the front of the grandstand.

George

Hi, excellent. I've not been to Silverstone since moving up to DSLR's so a little jealous.
It would be nice to learn more technically, ie lenses used. SR on or off when panning, ISO level etc.
You were clearly weather resistant! Dry on race day at least.
Hi Bill, all cars shot with K5 and Sigma 100-300F4, I did shoot some with the pentax 1.7xTC but couldn't see much difference in IQ from a cropped sigma shot so stopped using it.Hi, excellent. I've not been to Silverstone since moving up to DSLR's so a little jealous.

Few shots from Silverstone this year, taken from Luffield, Club corner and Becketts over the 3 days, plus a bonus of seeing the drivers at an autograph session.

Had a quick listen to my 50-135 which was attached to the camera, doesn't make a 'squeaky' noise like yours seems to do.
I don't have the DA*300, but I don't recall a squeaking noise on my other SDM lenses - 55, 60-250 & 17-70.
Just realised Mike's beat me to it !
