believe it...it is fast...
So I expect this one will be under the tree for Christmas or perhaps in a basket for Easter.... if I bug the wife enough about it I may even get one hurled at my head... who knows...
a solid upgrade from the k10 in every respect....
(I never use LV BTW)

It's getting more like Nikon every day!.....why do we need all these choices?.......
More choice is always better but I honestly don't think the AF system on the K-5 is going to be a patch on Nikons offering.
I would love to be proved wrong though.

Not only are they not weathersealed, but their silver finish rubs off as soon as you take them anywhere there might be "weather"

early reports have it being a contender for the title "Fastest af in an aps- body"

live view is slower than using regular af...
that the af works that fast in live view is a good indicator that af in video will work...perhaps a firmware update or maybe when it ships...
The 40mm is a very fast focusing lens anyway so if they were using that for the test I would be a lot less impressed than if they used something like the 16-50mm.
