Odd title?
It's an improvement on all that went before it in the Pentax line up.
The next model may well be a further improvement in other areas.
Logically, there's no reason not to buy one, if the funds are there.
Pentax will catch up with other brands in both functionality and sales.
That said, the days of cheap Pentax glass will soon be long gone.
The price of desire?

I didn't refer to the DXO site prior to buying my istD, K10D or K7.
Nor did I compare any of the above to Canon or Nikon.
No doubt the 645D MkII will be even better (maybe a 643D as performance currently gets better with lower numbers).
Quote; "But the 645D is a MF camera and not a 135 format".
So a comparison is pointless as the individual systems and applications between formats are somewhat different.
The DXO spiel reminds me of the old HiFi arguments that used to circulate.
Reading the tests does nothing to inspire anyone, except maybe buy a D3x as it’s cheaper?

Maybe you need to email the people who wrote the K5 user manual?Quote:
7 fps jpg full quality is approx 30 images, RAW is approx 8 images.
1.6 fps jpg full quality is to "card full", RAW is approx 10 images.
I'd expect this to be taken with a pinch of salt if you have a decent SD card? I know my buffer on the K10D is shown as 8 RAW and then it keeps going just as fast as it can write, which is pretty rapid...7 fps jpg full quality is approx 30 images, RAW is approx 8 images.
1.6 fps jpg full quality is to "card full", RAW is approx 10 images.

It is the stated buffer capacity.
- as an after thought, now that some forum members have the K5, maybe they could put it to the test?

Software, I meant that the software available like Photo shop etc. can generally can be found for a song.
Mac OS, maybe not virus proof but is it more reliable?

Somewhat true I suppose but let's not forget the recent price hike in bodies and lenses. The USA is still cheaper and also for Macs which is where I'll buy them if we go that route.thoughton wrote:

I thought that was part of the pleasure of buying Apple stuff.... paying double for everything ...unless you buy it from "I Saw You Coming" and pay TRIPLE! I would definitely avoid buying RAM from Apple if at all possible, they charge you at least double what Crucial would.

That means the 35mm lens is $130.

Expect the price to drop after a few months.
