Well, it may not help you George but for many, including myself, its a great AF system when used correctly.

I changed digital systems and replaced my K20D with a D300s after the chance of a great deal on a complete Nikon system (my film systems are still Pentax). I don't regret it. Sure, there are a couple of things I miss about the Pentax but the pros far outweigh the cons. The D300s is an outstanding piece of equipment. I never really used the K5 though, only fiddled with it in the shop, but why would I want to when I have a D300s?
51 AF points is sublime and the camera is solid, without being too heavy/bulky. Dual card slots is nice too, etc, etc. I also seem to do a lot less PP now.
Hope that helps.

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy using it.

Haha - yes, the dark side indeed.

To be honest, there's a lot I'll miss about my Pentax cameras (in body stabilisation for one - although we all used to manage without it) and I was all set to buy a K5, with my K20 as a back-up. Pentax cameras just work - they are the most user friendly DSLR's on the market, in my opinion. However, a great opportunity came up and it would have been silly not to grab it. After shooting this week I'm pretty sure I won't regret it (I did replace the strap though with something nice and funky so people can't see what I'm using )

Everything gone -

Thats me off then - kept a P30 for old times sake though.
