Nikon D7000 or Pentax K-5 ?

[AM92]

Hello, i am new to here, so please excuse me if this is the wrong thread to post in.


My questions are, i am coming Pentax shooter, or at least "were", i have sold some of my gear, mainly because of my Pentax K-7, the A/F was just not as responsive as i needed it to be, compared to my friends Nikon d90, and even a friends d40, it was unacceptable. Low light could of been better but the A/F was a big deciding factor for selling of the K-7. Now i am not a fan boy, i was thinking of getting a D7000, i was surely going for it. Until i've read and compared it to the Pentax k-5, more similarities then differences. Big reason i'd choose the D7000, is the fact A/F is much more accurate, Nikon offers a wider selection of lenses and gear. I mainly shoot, landscape, outdoor nature, portraits, and macro. High FPS does not really matter, if you guys think another camera, would be a better option, let me know. Also what lens selections could you suggest to me, i would also like a good walk around lens, my 16-50mm 2.8 was perfect when i was with Pentax.. And What Macro lens would be the best fit on a d7000? Thanks. Have a good and pleasant day. .

Consider some smaller Nikon models as well, what is your budget like? Compare features of the D90 vs D7000 there is nice review here

Depends what you rely need. I rely like the Nikkor 105mm Macro lenses but will follow this thread carefully as I am also trying to chose a good macro lenses at the moment.
