7000 vs Pentax k-5

Apr 6, 2012

I was going to buy a K-5, my friends tell me I should be buying the 7000.
Anyone have used both, pros/cons.

K-5 is very compact, very nice low light capability - I've never used a Nikon, what am I missing ...
Please convince me, then I'm buying one or the other.
Thanks

Paul Bentley
