A talented photographer can get great shots with any camera.  The difference a 
good camera makes is which shots that they can get.  There's no way that I 
could have put the 18-250 on my K100, or even my K20 and gotten a decent shot 
in that lighting if the subject was moving at all.  If you don't need the 
performance of the K-5 for the photos that you're taking today, then wait a 
while. In a year or two, you should be able to either get performance that 
makes the K-5 look like the K-x, or the performance of the K-5 for the price of 
a K-x.
