    Why is it that they never use a tripod for their videos? You would think that a multinational imaging corporation would be able to figure that one out, the wobble is just annoying.

    With that rant out of the way, I am a Pentax fan even though I recently switched to Nikon gear. For entry level and mid range DSLRs Pentax has a lot to offer, they just don’t have the pro lineup I needed. The K5 does look like a very capable camera with typical outstanding Pentax build, might be priced a little on the high side though.

    The video indicates it was shot with a pentax camera, so i guess they’re trying to make it more genuine…

    The price is simply monstrous!
    Why not equal with D7000?

    They REALLY need to fire the girl reading the cue cards in this video. Her eyes darting back and forth, inability to get the words out, and disingenous delivery are why.
