Hi Paul: Looks good. I'm VERY interested in low light auto focus
performance of the K5. Would very much like to hear your views on this
topic. Cheers, Christine from Chicago

Subject: K-5 here, high iso samples
My K5 arrived a few hours ago. My first thought was that it was defective
and wouldn't autofocus. As usual, I'd forgotten to set the diopter to
"almost blind." Once I realized that I was the only one not focusing, I
shot a few pics at ISO 6400 and 12800, just for grins. I converted them
from RAW with the default ACR settings. No additional sharpening. I did
increase the exposure a bit on the coke sign, since the largely white
background let it slightly under. Have yet to check exposure for any
necessary standard comp setting, but it looks pretty close. I also have
to check autofocus calibration for all my lenses. I hate that job, but
consider it a necessity with any new camera. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway, ere
are a few pics. All are with the DA* 16-50.
This is ISO 6400, f4, 1/125th:

This frame is ISO 12,800, f4 1/50th. The camera focused in my nearly dark
basement:
