Two problems you'll hear about Pentax

1-flash inconsistency.   I've found great consistency, even with a low end Metz. Something about the combination just works.

2-focus performance.  If you're doing professional sports, this might be a concern.  But I shoot football, track and other sports at the high school level, and have never found it to be a hindrance.

Jim, I'm not a Pentax shooter, and don't frequent Pentax forums - I haven't heard about those problems before - are they meant to be K5 issues specifically, or Pentax generally?  Most of the time, the only negatives I read about choosing Pentax DSLRs is that the range of lenses available is smaller than Canon or Nikon (which is probably not a problem for a beginner, anyway).
