When you find a bad review you say "I think there must be some good reasons behind, otherwise they won't put such a low score." http://ricehigh.blogspot.com/2010/11/famous-germa...
And when the reviews are good (both give the maximum rate to image quality) then : "I won't comment further this time and will let You measurebate and decide!"
This time it's me who won't comment further, there is no need...isn't it?

Pentax K-5: Verdict
Here Pentax have a camera that is punching very much above its weight. The K-5 can happily take on cameras costing twice as much or more and especially with this fine new sensor will be in a position to challenge any of the APS-C alternatives, at any price. It offers certain critical advantages over the lower priced K-r, such as higher resolution and weather sealing and in terms of value for money is an extraordinary package in the market place as a whole.
In terms of general advantages, Pentax are offering a very compact design that is highly effective. The lenses have always been of the highest quality and there is no doubt that the K-5 will deliver the goods on most levels. Backwards compatibility with thousands of lenses is already well assured.
The quality of colour is exceptional and I suggest that portrait and wedding photographers consider this camera very carefully. Pentax do have some limitations as regards their own telephoto lenses, but alternatives are available from other manufacturers if needed.
In summary, an excellent camera that is very highly recommended.
