Pentax K-5 Digital Camera First Impressions Review

Introduction

The K-5 costs $1599.99 for the body alone, or $1749.99 for the camera and an 18-55mm zoom lens. That seems a little expensive, but the K-5 does have a few things going for it: it is more solidly built than many SLRs,has speedier AF and also boasts a wider ISO range, topping out at a low light busting 51200 ISO. We took a look at a pre-production K-5 at the Photokina show in Cologne, Germany.
