I agree and photos like that do nothing to help me resist getting a K-5. I know how much easier using the K-r made it to get certain photos, and especially noticed the difference when I went back to using the K-x. It would be so easy to say that my credit cards are in such bad shape anyways, a little more won't hurt. By the way how is "K-5" pronounced in different languages? > > Beautiful light and wonderful candid moments, Paul.
