Official K-5 site on Pentax Japan website:
http://www.pentax.jp/japan/imaging/digital/slr/k-5/feature.html
There are some sample photos posted already, but all in small sizes. I guess the firmware isn't finallized yet, they can't post full sized sample photos at the moment.

Pentax need to work hard on their marketing.
"C" "N"" will sell tens of thousands more of their camera, simply because odinary people with no photography experience will be able to walk into Courts or HN, etc. and actually be able to hold, try and buy one.
I've seen Pentax once in HN but they are not everywhere. "C" "N" sre always on paper and TV commercials to tell the world that they have a new product.
You can have the greatest product in the world, but if people can't try it out and buy it "on the spot" at a reasonable price it's doomed.
I can see a lot more people walking into a store one day for a new LCD TV, seeing a "C" "N" sitting there on display... picking it up, playing with it.. and maybe flat-out leaving the store with one in tow.
What I really can't understand, is that Pentax sells on Funan, SimLim, Chinatown, etc. but not in stores where there is tremendous foot traffic and sales potential.
This is an open call to Pentax marketing.
But thanks to D7000, there has been some reports the the new pricing of K5 will be just U$100 more
not disputing that superstores help brands move volumes and gives them much needed exposure but from a company's perspective, it may not be worthwhile to deal with this segment of retailers that moves volumes but destroys margins.
there's a lot of behind the scenes dealing with such superstores. its not fun, and its not always good for a company's bottom line.iso3200 sample looks very good... same or better than my D700... :think:
The iso seems new. The low iso, in the film days, used to take skin textures and was nice
Maybe the iso 80 will be as good.
The focusing speed is much faster now. Generally good imho.
