sadly the polls will be as affected by market share as thier testing.
It is kinda like asking a class with 29 white kids and one minority if racism is a problem... odds are if racism IS a problem, there will only be one voter saying "YES I've been discriminated against"!
What is Pentax's market share? How many votes for "Fixed"?
Just sayin'

I think in every review I have seen the K-5 has beaten the Nikon D7000 and Canon 60D, although in Nikons case by a very small margin.
So why in the latest issue of Amateur Photographer is there a head to head of the Nikon and Canon cameras and no mention of Pentax?
What's new in AP
Canon EOS 60D vs Nikon D7000
The two new giants in the mid-range DSLR camp go head to head to determine which offers the best performance.
They may not be brand biased but things like this really don't do much to convince me otherwise.
you answered your own question... how can you defend a rigged contest when the people you rigged the contest for both lose?I think in every review I have seen the K-5 has beaten the Nikon D7000 and Canon 60D, although in Nikons case by a very small margin.

it is the "How do we appease the readers who aren't stupid enough to let us ignore this product, while not pissing Canon off and losing our ad sales, so we need to invent a new category for this product and let Canon win the "Camera of the year award" trophy we promised them" award...

Apart from the lack of high ISP performance the K20D is a great camera. it focusses better in low light than my K-5. although I'm hoping for a fox for that soon
Pentax is offering a free loaner Megan Fox, while you wait for your k-5 repairs.....womble wrote:
As much as I love my K20D I wouldn't push it to 6400ASA. I rarely go above 400 on mine. When I need low light capability I use a tripod...
I have never found the fps of the K20D an issue. In fact, I don't think I have ever taken it off single shot...
Courses for horses as always for these things.

I would agree. 6400 is rubbish on the K20D. unless you like sandy grained pics As much as I love my K20D I wouldn't push it to 6400ASA. I rarely go above 400 on mine. When I need low light capability I use a tripod...

you could also consider some abs plumbing pipe and connectors and a sheet/curtian set up... if you want DYI...
or if you got lightstands, a piece of curtian rod or bamboo and some curtians....
