It's a sure bet that it'll be much improved this time round.
In each case there was a small improvement .. bit like the K-30 apparently has over the K-5 right now.

Hello All,
Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone.
I am not a Pentax user - YET! I have been a Canon man for over forty years (yes, I am an ode git!) but I will be having a close look at the remarkable K5 very soon and I suspect I will be joining the ranks as a result.
I look forward to sharing my passion with you all very soon.

yes, I can see your reason for changing to Pentax and the K-5 is a superb bit of kit and at a reasonable price.
I have used many camera brands and not long ago came back to the K-5, for my Macro and wildlife.
for value for money the K-5 is the best.

I think vodka is flammable. Better throw that out too, just to be safe. In fact send it to me and I will dispose of it safely.
But me first - even more so if it is Ouzo (I love the stuff and drink far too much of it!) and not Vodka!
As for those batteries it set me wondering if those battery operated things they buy at these sex shops should be marked with a CE?
Or could they blow up?

Reference the "CE" marking: as a professional engineer specialising in that area of electrical/electronic product regulations and standards compliance, I have to say (most unfortunately) that sometimes the marking is not worth the ink used to print the symbol on the product - let alone the paper and ink to print the legally mandatory EU Declaration of Conformity to support it, if that does actually exist!
No names, no packdrill (I could get sued!), but in cases like these I would rather (but only just!) place trust in the company that takes the legal responsibility in the EU for the battery (or anything else electronic) being compliant with the regulations and safety standards.

I was until retired a qualified Electrical/electronics engineer, All I say is buy sensibly and you should not go wrong.

Maybe Pentax will eventually get their autofocus to be as good as Nikon/Canon...sorry folks..
