Well, as before, I don't like the colour rendition and the image softness, which is still existent even at the lower ISO and that's what really bugs me for the lower IQ and field performance of the K-5. As for the higher ISO images, we see more obvious noise this time. The exposure accuracy is not good neither, the reviewer applied EV compensations most of the time.
Speaking of the K-5, Amazon has offered a discount for the standard 18-55 kit set after the "Black Friday" and the "Cyber Monday". Now the kit is just at some cents less than (US)$1,600 and is yet one dollar cheaper than the K-5 body-only offer! On the other hand, there is no K-5 body (alone) offer at the B&H, as it has been run out of stock.

My suggestion would be one of the limited's for sensor testing. The FA 43 would give one the best indication of sensor resolution etc.

Look to photozone.de for details. The FA 50 1.4, on the other hand, is less sharp than any of the DA limited's.
So you test a camera with a lens that can resolve the sensor. The Kit lens is good for normal viewing, but terrible for pixel peeping.
