The impressive low light abilities of the new Pentax K5

Just go read this thread at Pentaxforums; nothing else to add: it is obvious that the Pentax K5 has a mindblowing capability to get pictures at very low light, without noticeable noise.

And by the way, as reported today by The Online Photographer, the DxO Mark rankings for the Nikon D7000 have been released; this camera uses the same sensor as the K5, although the information captured by it is analyzed in a different way (this is pretty much the standard in today's cameras: the sensor being the same, the output is personalized by each brand). Ok, so the fact is that the output quality is lower than that of K5 (although it is true that the difference is tiny: score of 82 for the K5, 80 for the D 7000).

Pity that my budget does not allow this dream at all at this time; otherwise I would buy a K5 as a Christmas gift for myself, that's for sure.
