Yes, I'm one of those folks. I'm still with the K10, which is quite good especially when doing some post processing. The advantages of K5 should be enough to step up now...well, just if the camera is as written in the spec ;-)
I'm quite curious how good this 18-135mm (28-200 in the old 35mm world) will be. It could be a good walk around lens for the every day use.
At least Pentax seems to be still alive and something is going in the forward direction.

True the K-5 may be a class above the K-7 or previous K10D/K20D market wise or specifications wise but to me its a replacement or upgrade for users of those cameras I mentioned. A K-R would not feel like an upgrade handling / build wise to a K20D for example, it lacks the 2nd dial and capacity for a grip <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

The K-5 looks to be a very good upgrade for those still with a K10D or K20D especially and perhaps there is enough for the K-7 users as well.
Off topic a little but do you have examples of shots taken with the Sigma 8-16 online anywhere?
