I am almost sure that the one on the picture is a " dummy". Look at the IR sensor. Looks like painted.On the real one the sensor is recessed because of the bigger grip. In reality the silver K-5 doesn't look like painted. The feel/look is more like solid metal.
I've got the silver and the black but using mostly the black with a BG-4
because of the bigish zooms( F 2.. Without a GB-4 the bigger grip on the silver one makes a differance.
Greetings,
George

Maybe you're happy with mere record shots, taken from uninteresting angles, with obvious compositions, taken in dull light, and with no enhancement whatsoever. I'm not.

I knock ten years off a lady's age with just lighting....
If your aspiration is simply a 'reasonably sharp image' at around f8 the kit lenses will do just fine, especially if you have good samples. And photoshop will squeeze a little more quality out of them. But Photoshop can't really provide the following things if they're not there in the first place:
- shallow depth of field
- fast apertures which help eliminate motion blur
- edge to edge sharpness
- special effects like fisheye lenses

Nothing serious, saw this on my way home on one of my Bike rides the other day, and the Flash Gorden shaped Rocket cloud made me chuckle...
