The live view screen is so clear, its quicker to focus and quieter as most other posters have said. The biggest difference I first noticed was how fast it is in continuous drive. And how few images you get on a 4Mb SD card compared to the K-m.
Living in Wales its best feature for me is it weather resistance as it often rains here! Problem for me now is I am wanting to change a lot of glass to WR lenes.
ATM, K5 with 18-55WR, 50-200WR, DA 10-17mm ED (IF) FISHEYE, Sigma 70-300 APO Macro.
On my want it now list! D FA 100mm MACRO f2.8 WR

I had a major panic after following the instructions almost to the letter! Upgrade went ok after which I removed the SD card and turned the camera back on, nothing. panic. Clean trousers needed.
I have just learnt that the camera will not start up if the memory card door is open!

Problem is solved, my beautiful girl friend has brought me a shiny new K-5 this morning from Carmarthen Cameras
She thought I was being cheeky when I said we could have £40 each from the cash back offer. And to think I let her have my K-m too.

I have set the camera to bulb but the cheapo ebay remote just does a quick shutter even if you hold the button down. I have checked all the memus to see if this can be changed, but nothing. Think I just need another remote. I really wanted one that you can set the shutter duration on but am afraid to waste my money if it does not work.
Really getting back into this camera stuff now and can see me upgrading to a K5 as I am finding the limitations of an entry lever DSLR

On the K-m there is no socket for a wired remote (unless its well hidden!) bulb mode goes to 30 seconds. If I want to expose for several minutes for a star shot maybe how can I create this?
I have tried my cheapo IR remote from fleabay but but it seems to be momentary connection. Do I need a different remote, I have checked the options in settings as mentioned on a thread for K-x but my setting do not have these options.
How have folks got around this please?

So have a look at your digital TVs they may have a similar function you can use
