Pentax K-5

Pros: Excellent value for money, comfortable, and many customizable parameters (there are many, do not point them all) and well-placed buttons (useful keys RAW / Fx, Af and green button), M Hyper mode and USER, and still Sv, TAv Green and beyond the classic, double ring, high quality RAW, good dynamic range, 7 fps, tropical, system stabilization and dust removal and control more than good! (Always better than averceli!) 100% viewfinder, external microphone input (discrete inner); analogue preview of depth of field, interval shooting, multiple exposure, composition adjustment, confirmation of focus and parameter Catch-in focus ( useful especially with manual lenses) digital filters and other in-camera processing, noise reduction for high ISO and long exposure, and customized according to the ISO used, very good High ISO / low light; exceptional ISO up to ISO 800 (with expansion also ISO 80), optimal / up to 3200 more than good, good / decentin addition, up to max of 51,200 with expansion enabled, which is acceptable if heavily corrected in development, raising the flash pop-up mechanics and electronics, electronic level.

Cons: The "good machine JPEG" is the default (at least for me), but you have to fiddle around a bit 'with the correct parameters for hue, sharpness, noise reduction and more; increases in exposure can be set by only 1/3 and 1 / 2 EV, no stop 1 (for ISO's), no manual video settings (iso and times; circumvented by setting the parameters in USER mode (Av), lock the exposure (AE-L) and turn ring on video); fast overheating of the sensor in video mode noise sound sensor that grinds while shooting video.

Opinion: I like it very much! You can do everything! With the battery grip also acquires a more important aspect that tends not to hide because of the smaller than machines of the same category as 7D, D7000, and a few full frame. Have a good tool also helps the photographer more creative and more experienced: so does the Pentax K-5. Recommended!
