Ann, that is =excellent=. You're gonna love it. Except for testing purposes, I've not used the flash with the camera in ~9000 exposures. The low light sensitivity is wonderful.
I use straight DNG output (~300 shots fit on an 8GB card), rename them on import into Lightroom (Bloggs Weddg 8-13 #__), and processing is simple from that point.

At first i begged off... my *istD isn't up to that and especially after this recent battery episode, not high enough ISO, etc But the I realized I could do it for him inexpensively by wedding photog in nY standards for sure - the price of a K-5! His check is in the mail and as soon as I get it I'll be looking for the best price (well, I already am doing that) Saw an LN at KEH for about $550... I need to get it soon and practice. Have enough for that and spare batteries... don't need to have a brand new one. IF anyone notices a better deal than that KEH one or has some sage words about making the K-5 behave well , or some things to watch out for in switching from the D... I'm hoping to shoot without using flash at all. How does the AWB fare? My habit with the D is to simply load all the raw files onto my computer from the card reader without renumbering/renaming the raw files - do any of you do both the PEF and the jpgs? any suggestions at all are welcome. boy, it is nice to be back!
