No need for suspense: this new 16.3 MP sensor is simply the best APS-C we have tested so far, sometimes able to compete even with very high-end full-frame cameras.
The overall score of the K5 puts it in the lead with 82 points ΓΆ€” more than 9 points better than the D90 or the Alpha 55, and 16 points ahead of the Canon 7D or 60D. The K5 is literally the best APS-C performer for each segment, even in low ISO. |

| Very impressive figures from dxo. I'd like to see a couple other reviews and see if the findings are similar across the board. |

| But most importantly: How are the Pentax optics? A lot of optics today (including pro lines) are not living up to the sensors and becomes the bottleneck. |

| How are the optics? I think there were a few decent ones to come out in the last few decades. When folks talk about primes, Pentax is usually near the top of the discussion. |

Sold my K7 a couple of weeks back and patiently waiting for the K-5's to land here in Oz. Looks to be a great sensor that Sony have designed here which should also bode well for Nikon D7000 users.
