Has anyone got any feed back on the camera from the forum I cant make my mind up if to go for it or may be the K5 next year.

Not so far on this site. I've seen a fair number of reviews out there on the internet on both cameras. Personally, I'm planning on replacing my k10 with a K5 next year (but still keeping my K20). For me, while the Kr is very attractive, it's the wrong direction as I want a higher end camera. I will say that this review was quite helpful.

Ian,    the K-5 is the one you want.  The K-r seems to be a better camera than the K-x, but neither one offer weather sealing.  I've had the K-5 a little over a week now, and all I can say is...WOW, what a camera.

Thanks for the feed back guys hopefuly I will get the chance to get the feel of both cameras when they come available in one of the big retail stores. Im pretty impressed by the spec on the Kr for the money but I do relise the K5 is a much better made camera I have to decside if I realy want to pay the extra £400 or so for the extra build quality and spec.

Just an up date purhased the Kr last week but as yet I have not had the chance to give it a whirl as the weather here has been so poor lately. I hope to be able to get some test photos soon.

I wonder : there's a lot of colour difference between the last two. Comparing those to the others pictures I would say the last one is the closest to the real colour, but why is the tweeked one so different then ?? Is that your colourchoice ??
In another thread I've wondered about testpictures. You proof my point by the differences in the pictures with and without pp.

Yes the tweeked one is just my prefrence.
