It is a completely pointless feature if you shoot RAW.

You can do all that in PP with next to no loss and you might as well be shooting at ISO80 or 100 and underexpose if you want the best DR and adjust the curves.

I wanted to cook pheasant for christams dinner but we got two ducks instead. They were very good. Probably would have needed four pheasants.

Mmmm, duck...

Pheasant! I have a pheasant visiting daily now

It seems to come for the food other smaller birds throw out of the feeders because they don't like it. I've also put out peauts for it.

I don't have a K-5 but with the K10D you do need to 'overexpose' a little bit at high ISO to reduce noise. This clips some highlight detail but overall the entire image is much cleaner.

I want one of those! I can just imagine turning up to a shoot with it and the looks I'd get.

If you can, get the V5s as they are greatly improved.

I keep being told variants of this one. All I can say is that basic lens designs haven't changed in the best part of a century. Coatings have improved and machining tolerances have been tightened but the best older glass can still compete.

I wouldn't bother with things like old non-brand zooms but SMC Pentax ("K series") lenses are still worth owning.
Go back even further, there are a lot of good m42 lenses out there.

First time rendering a 1080p video slide-show and my PC is managing 25 frames per second! That is real time rendering of 2 megapixel video! I didn't think it would be that fast.

I don't think it could play it back at the same time though

The thing is...

Objects can be out of focus but the bokeh has a small radius as it isn't magnified a lot. You need to get in really close to get larger boken with UWA.
