That's my plan Mark! :) The K7 that I carry around as my backup will now go on the shelf as a display camera with all of my old bodies and my current K5 will become my second body. I am shooting more weddings again now and need to shoot with two bodies anyways. Looking forward to taking a K-5IIs through its paces. :)

Unless you're really limited by the autofocus of the K-5 (I'm not) I'd guess you're probably right and the IIs won't make much sense as an upgrade. Given that the K-5 gets the best image quality of all the cameras using that Sony 16-megapixel sensor, I'd expect that the anti-aliasing filter it has isn't particularly strong and a lot of people are going to be disappointed and the difference in resolution. On the other hand, if you're looking to add a second camera body to your equipment line-up, the K-5IIs is a no-brainer. If you encounter circumstances in which moire is an issue you can just use your standard K-5. Best of both worlds. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
