I think sometimes we can get too confused and concerned about some very wooly reporting on the internet. Lots of information, only a percentage of it actually accurate.

If anyone gets dismal images from a K-5 then either they are doing something very wrong or something is drastically amiss.

Yes, using Av the exposure may well change every time you recompose.

The fault now seems to have cleared.

All those things are much brighter than 0.5EV John, especially the concert. The spotlights used will allow quite short exposures at surprising low ISO values.

For the concerts I've shot I would be using ISO400 with shutter speeds around 1/125sec with no problem, albeit it with lenses of f2.8 or faster.

It looks good if you get one person to stand absolutely still during the exposure, leaving everyone else as wisps moving around them.

fatspider has a fair point.

"In the dark" is relative...the problem quoted is related to very low light levels.

We have two K-5s and they are superb. At current prices an incredible bargain.

Interesting, did you use manual exposure and manual focusing, both essential for a panorama?
