Pentax camera

Does anyone have any experience with Pentax? I'm looking at the K5 model. Just for indoor photography.

I've used the K-x for a few years and really like it.

New lenses seem to be a little more expensive than Canon/Nikon but there's a B&S board at pentaxforums where you can get some pretty decent stuff inexpensively.

How are they under low light conditions?

I've never directly compared them with Canon/Nikon, but it's supposed to compare very favorably. I typically use a 50mm/1.7 and it has to be really dark for me to even worry about using a flash.

Getting one Wednesday to play around with for a while. Thanks for the feedback.

I have the K-x also. I like it a lot. I went with the regular kit lens, but added the 40mm pancake and the 75-300mm lens which is outstanding for the price. I'm going to get the 100mm macro next.
