I don't know about you, but over 1/200 I can rarely see much difference in hand held vs tripod and I am certainly capable of sharp pictures down to even 1/8s hand held with wide angle lenses. I have a few 1/4s pictures that I have kept even that were very sharp. If I have the slightest hint of camera shake, I tend not to keep the image. That's just me though. The moire on the K-5 IIs is troubling to me. At the apertures I shoot at, the gains in resolution would mostly be lost. Such is life.
