Methinks there will be a lot of Canon and Nikon fans questioning DXOmark now that there is an interloper within their ranks! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
Do you not believe that Hoya / Pentax with their medical image and software expertise cannot leverage this within the K-5s algorithms? Fact is, according to DXO, Pentax rules in the APS-C world until the next big thing comes along.

Whatever, no one is denying that the K5 is a fine camera. It may well be equal or better than any current canon or Nikon product. But by how much? And will the differnce matter to practical photography? I'd say very likly it will not matter. Just as the iq differences between the aps-c cameras released in the last two years are unnoticable unless you prefer your images as 100% crops and not as full photos. Anyway, i find pentax offers very compelling. All that kept me from buying into their system was the lack of full frame.
