"The rear control dial is well-placed too - easy to reach with the thumb of your right hand, but not directly underneath the thumbgrip, where it might get rotated by accident."dpreview.com | talking about the camera's feel
"The K-5 has a very similar sensor inside it to the Nikon D7000's, and like the Nikon, the K-5 displays excellent image quality across almost its entire ISO span."dpreview.com | talking about the camera's image-quality
"One of the best APS-C DSLRs in terms of high ISO image quality"dpreview.com | talking about the camera's iso-noise

I shall be buying this :D
I'm really interested in getting this but my worry is the high speed shooting and the buffer speed, as I will be mainly using it for fast sports. Like how many photos can you take in 7fps before she clogs up and once it does how long before I can shoot again? Is this even a good choice for sport photography?
Thanks for any help,

For D5100 I have no such problem Which way should I choose. Photography is my hobby I am not a professional photographer.
Regarding investing in a new system: have you considered Nikon or Canon? Given the # of lenses and bodies that they make and sell they would be the safest investment. That said, Pentax has been making lenses for a long time and I don't imagine they'll stop any time soon.
By the way, have you seen our sister site http://lenshero.com, it lets you browse lenses by camera and style, for example Pentax K-5 lenses.
Secondly, I'd like to have your thoughts about investing in the Pentax system, especially given that Olympus has discontinued its DSLRs. I am concerned about investing in a new body and lens system only to have it end soon.
With Pentax SR shake reduction system built in the body, you can use every pentax lens produced without the additional cost of IS/VR built in the lenses . it even have backward compatibilty with 25+milllion available pentax lenses. what more can you ask?
DXo sensor mark rating gave the highest rating versus available competetitor to K5.
Dpreview gave the gold award to K5 over D7000 saying k5 is the Best APS-C DSLR in the market.
Superb! Well-built and big time "Street Cred"

Having looked at the comparison I guess my question was answered with a resounding "yes".
However the Alpha 700 was never over £1600, mine was £560 new two years ago.
Thanks again.
