Pentax K5 is only $1500 now!!!

[edutilos-]

it crossed my mind before - i decided against it. no point cos i shoot raw and i like to view my pix on a big screen to do selection and PP.

if u just want to upload and share immediately, an eye-fi card might be a better solution.

Does it work with any camera?

Just out of curiosity.. Not something I'd use though.

Could check the compatibility chart to be sure but anecdotal experience from some users in pentax forum seems ok.

some bugs noted with some firmware versions awhile back but should be ok by now.

I don't use it either.

Wow! This thread became a 'cat' show off thread? Okay, let me show you some:

Hi Fengwei,

These photos are really amazing. I am quite unfamiliar with Pentax.. just came across Pentax K5 today :embrass:
Are these photos taken with Pentax K5?
When you bought the camera, were the lens (that you took these photos with) included or did you buy separate lenses? If separate, what are the lenses? And how much?

Thanks.. I appreciate it!!!

Most of us bought the body only as we already have the lenses to go with it.

Wowww..... anyway, the K5 is a superb camera for all my Pentax K and Ricoh lenses!

These were taken with the very old 6MP Pentax istDs, a really nice cheap and good entry level camera, amongst Pentax's first forays into the DSLR market.
I had the even lower entry istDL. Really good cameras

These were taken long ago, definitely not w/ a K5. But K5 can only do better I think I used a 300mm lens for these, which cost around $1300SGD back then.

Most likely it's the F*300/4.5:

Good luck finding one
