I switched from Canon to get this camera! Wow, its wonderful. I love the image quality, lens selection, and weather sealing of this camera system. Overall I would say this is a absolutely wonderful system! I feel Pentax releases more Winner lenses than any other manufacturer. Because of the clean image high ISO can produce, you can often times get away with a slower lens. This makes the system WAY more affordable. I highly recommend this camera and the Pentax System.

I've only recently started using my K-5 professionally, and unfortunately, thought the dynamic range and image quality are outstanding, the camera ended up needing to go in for service. For a camera I really haven't used all that much in comparison to how some people shoot, it really should have held up better. Dust under the LCD was an issue from the beginning, but Pentax will fix that, but a $300+ repair for a camera body that hasn't been abused and has low shutter actuations is really quite frustrating. I will say, I've convinced quite a few people to switch to Pentax from other brands... it's an amazing camera overall and their selection of lenses, especially primes, is mind-blowing... which is why I stick with the brand. I bought a K-01 as a backup (luckily), and got it real cheap... and as ugly as it is, it's a great tripod camera. It's the image quality that matters, and in this way Pentax delivers.

I bought my k5 ii a month ago, and I am so far enjoyed shooting with it in different environments. I have actually shot in a TV studio, in night clubs, in daylight... I shot all of my pictures in RAW and I find that to be a very good idea to take advantadge of the k5 ii full potential. Cropping, Adding some contrast and sharpening is usually all what i need in post processing. All in all I am very satisfied with what this dslr delivers.

This camera is everything I wished for. Low-light AF is superb, overall AF action is very nice! Haptic perception is like with every Pentax product exeptional excellent!

I'm not a professional but have been practicing photography for around 15 years. I own the k-5 and I love it. It feels good, the controls are perfect and it has a ton of features that someone like myself wants. I've been shooting long enough that I need more than an entry level camera and this camera did it! It's got pro-level features without the pro price. Plus, the The k-5 II is only the next step up from the k-5 so you can't possibly go wrong.

Used for a variety of uses, sports action photos for school, family portraits, nature, landscapes. The options available make it very adaptable. Controls are pretty straight forward, easy to use.

I have owned a K5 not the K5 II and decided to sell it. K5 II has addressed some of the bugs I saw in k5 from what I understand. Things I liked. Design Build quality Battery Life Things I did not like. Hard to capture a SUPER sharp photo Auto focusing is not good. Flash is horrible as it over exposes everything Video offers no options and no compression offered Things that made me sell. Operating this camera is like driving a manual car, you cant just give it to someone to take a picture of say yourself and your wife and have it turn out perfect. Pros: Did take some amazing pictures with this cam!

Fantastic photo quality and features. I'm very pleased with low light quality compared to my older camera.
