"tiny view finder" scares me a bit...
My only wish was my ist-d was lots less noisy at 3200 and went up to
6400. seeing the great stuff in relatively low light I was seeing
from youse guys that have the K-5 made for camera lust.
but hey, I'm just dreamin anyway at this point.
thanks for making me feel less deprived :-)

In what way is the K-5 deficient in auto-focus?
takes too long to get there, or doesnt get it right?
It's pretty fast, depending on the lens, but is noticeably slower when
compared to the midrange AF from the other guys.
Mine is also very inaccurate under studio lights. I have to dial in the
maximum AF bias to get close (really bad front focus), and
unfortunately, it isn't consistent, so I never really know where it is
going to focus. Under studio lights I am lucky to get an AF hit rate of
30% unless I go to live view, which combined with face detection is a
decent alternative to focusing manually with the tiny viewfinder, and is
accurate enough.
