Is the Pentax K-5 still a good camera?

Is the Pentax KM a good camera?
Overall not a bad Pentax body, but you can get a KX for close to the same price and the KX is a better overall choice. However as a fully manual film camera for “students” this is a way better choice than a K1000 and is around the same price….Pentax KM.
