RiceHigh's Pentax Blog: Finally, I am Done! :-D

Finally, I am Done! :-D

With the K-5, which is my 10th DSLR/ILDC ever purchased:-

No major problem as tested and used for two days, except a big dot of dust inside the focusing screen that is visible from the finder, which I believe is a gift from the factory. AF seems to be fairly accurate under both tungsten and white light, at different lighting levels but consistency is less good at lower light. Anyway, I don't find any noticeable difference in the actual performance between firmware 1.01 (which was programmed out of the factory) and the latest 1.12. Nevertheless, I might still complain later and quite likely! Sure will let you readers know if I find something! So, stay tuned~ ;-)

The electronic level of my K-5 unit works flawlessly.

No, I am not in Paris, but I think the electronic level correctness has nothing to do with the lens, i.e., you can test it even without a lens mounted.

woohoo. I am so proud of you Rice. From what I recall, your first flagship model of a camera system.

Can't wait to read about your experiences with it.

I think my MZ-S and *ist D used to be flagship Pentax models. And, my Canon 5D wasn't entry level neither.
