Pentax K-5 - robbiec - 09-20-2010 So the spec looks right, the price looks right, now to be able to actually buy the thing. If the focusing screen is the same as the K-7 I will order one in preparation for the October release. Klaus, maybe a cheeky question but have you been in contact with Pentax about getting a K-5 for review?

Pentax K-5 - Klaus - 09-20-2010 It's official here in Germany now. The MSRP is higher though (1459EUR). Pentax K-5 - Klaus - 09-20-2010 And the good news is ... the 18-135 is not based on the Tokina 16.5-135mm. Pentax K-5 - netrex - 09-20-2010 Not bad at all. Just really hoping for manual control for video.. AF would be nice, but I have big doubts, but M for video is a must!

As usual the street price will be 20% below the MSRP in no time (in Europe at least). |
