Photos in the nature, sport photos

K-5 is superior in every aspect.

- The Pentax has its own battery pack which increases your number of shots to a massive 1700 at the 50% standard (half of them with flash, half without.) The MD-11 pack can do 2000 shots with NO FLASH.

- The Pentax K-5 has OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZATION... It shifts the sensor itself in addition to having a huge range of lens-based OIS from Sigma, Tamron, etc... So you're just an idiot in saying that its digital.

- Nikon equipment costs MUCH more than Pentax. Look for weather-sealed Nikon lenses. None are under $1000 while the Pentax lenses start incorporating WR technology at the $200 mark.

- DP Review awarded the K-5 the "Top APS-C dslr" award because it deserves it. The only reasons people buy the D7000 instead is because it is either a more recognized name or they are body jumping and already have tons of Nikkor lenses.

you can’t add the $50 extra battery MD-11 to the pentax, which of course lets the d7000 shoot over 2000 pictures between charges, thats a lot more then 740, almost triple, and, the big deal? once one buy the excellent MD-11 battery pack (I bought the grey market, worked great) the camera gains 1 FPS, to 7.1fps, so although I agree the Pentax did a great job with the same sony sensor as the D7000, the specs and reasons are skewed, sure, the Nikon doesn’t have image stability in it, because it has the much better non-digital OPTICAL stabilization, its much like zoom, digital or optical? sure digital works, but its bested easily by optical zoom, just as in this comparison, there is just too much left out of the specs to make them accurate as presented.  You can’t get around cost, but you’ll pay in the end if you're a pro-sumer, without such things as the battery packs and nikon most excellent speed lights, you just can’t go wrong with nikkor lenses either, this is not as close as it looks, and the “winner” certainly isn’t the K-5, shame on DP review for such a crappy job of examining their own specifications and allowing typical corporate language to make it appear as if the K-5 actually bested the D7000? c’mon? Like I said before, Its not a piece of crap, its a nice camera, but it surely is second to the D7000 in overall performance value in the field, and that should be accounted for.
