Just to clarify (because the former comment is already cited out there).
K5 @ 16mp:
max. 2500 LW/PH (RAW)
max. 2050 LW/PH (JPEG ****)
For comparison:
A33 @ 14mp:
max. 2850 LW/PH (RAW)
max. 2500 LW/PH (JPEG)
Other than that the K5 seems to be a very fine camera from a user's perspective. Please note that I'm simply requiring a camera for a lab environment and the K5 is not substantially "better" for the lens tests (and only for the lens tests) than the old K10D.[/quote]
Klauss, I don't think you need bother getting the camera serviced or replaced. The K5 has very strong built-in RAW NR. Pentax used to implement mandatory NR for RAW only at ISO 3200 and above. Now, they've really gone overboard... in their quest for 'seemingly higher DR' at low ISO. Sigh..
But it should not stop you from reviewing Pentax lenses, should it?
