Com'on. It's just another DSLRs with an extreme-range kit zoom lens.
FWIW, I will pick it up in an hour or two. If the AA filter turns out to be too thick I will need to replace it which may result in a delay.

What do you mean by "replace it"? Using one of these companies that remove AA filters?

That's a bit the impression I got from the samples I saw out there. Seems to me the Nikon D7000 has a weaker AA filter despite having the same sensor.
I've always loved my K10 for its very weak AA filter despite the artifacts you'd see under certain conditions.
Too bad Pentax didn't choose a weaker AA filter for the K5.

Hi Klaus and Florent,
After your remarks, I had a look at the samples on dpreview, comparing the Canon 60d, the Nikon D7000 and the Pentax K5. Looking at these, I would not think the AA filter in the Nikon is substantially weaker than the Pentax.
As usual the dpreview samples suffer from the depth of field not being enough to cover the depth of their test target. Having the different cameras focussed in different places doesn't help comparing.

First impressions:
The JPEG quality is terrible (in terms of pixel-level-sharpness).
The RAW quality is Okayish - 25% blur - which is significant. Based on these initial tests I'd conclude that it has a rather aggressive AA filter.
The max. LW/PH are barely higher than the ones of the K10D. So far for the fanboy criticism that I should have migrated earlier ...

So you're gonna get the AA filter removed?
If it's the case, let me know how it works, as I just ordered a K5 yesterday and I've been considering a AA filter removal.
Cheers.

I just send out a message for a quote to the service company. I would cost an additional 500EUR - if they do it already on the K5. They have a filter replacement for the K7.
