So, Paul, I suppose you're the second one on the list after William
Robb, who got this camera. Or at least if my memory does not fail me,
you are.
Congratulations. Good pictures. Meanwhile it seems I will be buying
Topaz Denoise as it does wonders to my
shoot-in-the-dark-and-underexpose-with-high-ISO images...
It is good to know that technology is advancing.

My K5 arrived a few hours ago. My first thought was that it was
defective and wouldn't autofocus. As usual, I'd forgotten to set the
diopter to "almost blind." Once I realized that I was the only one not
focusing, I shot a few pics at ISO 6400 and 12800, just for grins. I
converted them from RAW with the default ACR settings. No additional
sharpening. I did increase the exposure a bit on the coke sign, since
the largely white background let it slightly under. Have yet to check
exposure for any necessary standard comp setting, but it looks pretty
close. I also have to check autofocus calibration for all my lenses. I
hate that job, but consider it a necessity with any new camera. Maybe
tomorrow. Anyway, ere are a few pics. All are with the DA* 16-50.
This is ISO 6400, f4, 1/125th:

This frame is ISO 12,800, f4 1/50th. The camera focused in my nearly
dark basement:
