I have a Pentax K5 which I love, and am thinking about going to Nikon or Canon, but the Pentax has a "watercolor" filter which I use a lot, especially on houses. When printed on canvas it truly looks like a watercolor painting. My question: does any other camera or software create this kind of effect?
why would anyone want a Nikon or Canon when they already have a Pentax K5? water color and other effects are available in several image processing suites from Photshop and others.
Nikon D5100 has Colour sketch option.
Keep your Pentax K5, it's as good as any Canon or Nikon in the same price range...
Unless you want to change because of specific lens/ancillary related issues or the desire to become more of a main stream photographer then keep your Pentax. It clearly does what you want it to do.
If you do decide to change and you still want to alter images the way you do, do it in processing. Not only will it be more flexible, you also won't have to go through the painful in camera processing malarky.
If you go change camera brand you will have to pay the cost of the new camera, the cost of the new lenS and after all that any camera comparable to a K5 has a steep learning curve. Why would you want to put yourself through all that? It sounds to me as if you are satisfied with what you have. Why change?
Even the lowly Nikon P510 Bridge has sketch in it. Stay with your camera, it does great.

Well, there a many reasons, but unless they apply here, I'd stay with the K5. A fine camera!!
BTW, this effect and hundreds more are available in post processing software like Adobe's Lightroom. Furthermore, once you are using post processing software, you usually have infinte adjustments to the effect.

Please tell me where I find this in Lightroom. I'm looking in Develop- should I be looking elsewhere? Maybe I'm looking right over it- what does Lightroom call it? Thanks Festina Lente.
You're right. I won't, but thanks.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
I suspect it is a plug in for LR.
