I think the K-5 is excellent and would be a worthy upgrade. It is
basically like the K3 but with a better sensor and somewhat higher
resolution. If you shoot at lower ISO settings - like 400 or less - the
sensor difference is not enormous. At high ISO's much improvement. The
K5 does not have focus peaking and the live view implementation is
somewhat clunky IMO (zooming in on the AF point) but it's a really fine
camera. A K5-IIs would probably be even finer.

Hi, troops. As you can see, my beloved K-7 is about to bit the dust.
It's become a little reluctant to change shutter speeds, and I'm not
sure what shutter speed it's ever on any more. I have used and abused
it for years, and now it's tired and wants to go home.
I can maybe afford,if a client comes through, a used K5, and here's my
question: is it worth getting. I know there have been upgrades to it,
but it seems to have gotten decent reviews whe it came out.
My other option is to spend a bit more and upgrade my Fuji X100 to the
X100S, but that would put me out of the Pentax game. I'd like to stick
around, maybe, if the K5 is worth it.
What say you?
