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?

I saw some new specs for the K-5 just now posted by Rice High. It's more of an upgrade from the K-7, I agree.
I haven't really used it that much yet, I got a job, so most of my time has gone to that and relaxing at home <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Might get some today though, going on a day-trip with the local photography club. And I used it for some close up in turns at a motocross event.
