With studio lights(meaning low iso, due to powerful lights), the kr does not exceed the image quality of the k10, in practical use.
It is only in low light or things requiring fast af that the kr beats the k10.
If the k5 is capable of making a better image in my studio, I doubt the difference would be noticible in the finished product to most people... If the k10 sensor represents the last generation ccd sensor, I could really care less, it is what comes out of the camera that matters.

use of an M lens = full manual apertur control (on my kr I can change aperture while shooting) it shoots at 25 fps which measns the Shutter speed is effectively fixed..... and if you meter it then set the AE lock you are shooting full manual.
I simply do a greycard reading and color balnce, lock the AE and go... no problems at all.
It might surprise some to know, that for all the fancy do-dads, most serious video shooters set evrything to manual.
It might also surprise some to know... (I have hdv, avchd camcorders as well so have tested) that the codec Pentax chooses for video will chroma key better than avchd.
Just learn when and how to use the camera for video and it will hold it's own against anything else out there.

finding lines streaking through the images.... I've swapped memory cards, and camera settings...
I fear it is just dying a slow sensor death.
Damn. I still like this camera.

unless that thing comes truck mounted, no sale.
I'd rather pay $600.00 for a 400 to 600 f8 reflex zoom please, pentax, if your reading this...lol!

yeah you can't post a video directly here in the forums... but you upload it elsewhere and post a link...Cheers Don. Will upload a sample when I've figured out how!
also I see you got manual focus lenses? I recommend you start using those for video... mf lenses are da'bomb when shooting video on d-slrs.. much better feel to them than af lenses.
