Every time I look at a the K-S2 I think it looks like a very nice
camera, then note the the differing ergonomics, and button layout, and
think about the PITA it is switching between the K-5II and K20D is.
It's easier to switch between either and the *ist-Ds.

The Ricoh Imaging shows the list price for the K-3, (not II), for
$800.00 and the K-50 for $349.00 which is as far as imaging goes quite
the bargain. The K-3 seems to street for about $100.00 less.
In a related note, on Saturday, I saw a friend who recently picked up
the K-S2 + two lenses from Costco for $500. I got a chance to play
with the K-S2 for a bit. I can't say much about it's actual
performance, but there were a couple of things that I disliked about it.
The first one was that the shutter and front e-dial were positioned
such that my forefinger naturally fell on the e-dial and I had to pull
it back to reach the shutter. If I rotated my hand so that my
forefinger rested on the shutter, the lower right rear corner of the
body dug into the palm of my hand in a rather uncomfortable manner.
The other thing that annoyed me was a gratuitous rearrangement of the
four way switch. I think that almost all of my bodies have had a
similar layout where the shutter menu was at the top, flash at the
bottom and white balance was to the left. The one on the right
differed between the K-5 and the K-x/K-r since the K-5 has a dedicated
button for ISO. On the K-S2 the layout has been randomized, or at
least rotated in such a way as to make switching between the K-S2 and
other bodies particularly annoying.
