I have a request. You don't return the camera and instead send it to me :-). Seriously, however, what I'd like to see is the small set (say, half a dozen) real life images, very much like those published by PhotoZone reviews. If you have permission and/or web space - you can make available full si

This is good to hear. I would be interested in your comments on AF focusing in shady areas. Not so much dark, but just shady. My K10D hunts quite a bit in this area and would be interested to hear what you have to say. Lenses most used are the 16-45 and 50-200 Dave On Sun, Nov 21, 2010 at 11:40

The K-5 images are very sharp. I've found that they require much less sharpening in conversion than did those of k10, k20 or k7. Of course you'll find numerous "sky is falling" conversations about any new camera on the lunatic fringe forums. A handful of jpegs can't prove or disprove anything
