Pentax K5 user review , e-book and a nice video

New Pentax K5 user review available at PhotoMalasyia forum. It has some real-world photos you may want to check along with some nice digital-filter photo samples.

The Pentax K5 is a camera that has come of age. On the digital sensor front, it is now comparable with the other big camera brands. On top of that it strives to provide more useful features like weather resistant body, backward compatible with older lenses, shake resistance that is on the body thus turning the older lenses to VR lens equivalent and ease of use.
Image quality wise, I find that the image files needs less post processing than other camera brands that do not use DNG RAW format. Sensor sensitivity is at par with the best in the market.
Its compact size coupled with Pentax’s pancake lenses makes it an ideal travelling companion. It is no fun lugging heavy equipment all over the world to do the same job.
