They do, but it is indeed tempting. I have not had a proper SLR since the E3,
and the Pentax K5 seems the same size but with a bigger sensor and better
lenses. And I have an emotional attachment to Pentax, as that was the brand I
used when I first got into photography in the 1980s.
And...El Corte Inglés, our leading department store, is having a sale on DSLRs
which basically means that I can walk in and buy a K5 at the same price as B&H
in NYC. Tempting :-)
