What is coming next?

Now, you might say that I am not really up-to-date with technology but I would like to talk about "new" Pentax K-5 as I assume I will acquire it in next
couple of months (Santa might just surprise me, you never know, haha).


Jim Radcliffe at his website Boxed Light has brilliantly described his experience with K-5 (and also his amazing pictures) here:

Why I am thinking to upgrade? Main reason is the tough K-5 body with weather sealing as I take my gear outdoor a lot. Secondly, its dynamic range and great
sensor (the same as in Nikon D7000).

And why I am being a bit reluctant to actually get it? Well, before I buy things like this I always do my little research. K-5, as Jim Radcliffe also
stated on his blog had some temperament behaviour at the beginning and also there were pearl strings like stains developing on the sensor itself -
users believe it has been caused by overheated inner space of the body (maybe because of the weather seals the heat is being trapped inside, not sure)
Therefore I have decided to wait some time - to see if Pentax is being able to fix these issues. Last reports say that this issues should be fixed and the K-5 is now
a brilliant buy!
