Hello, Doug, I'd say, skip the K-5 and get a K-5II - which indeed is a K-5 done right, and with some tweaks added. If you liked the K-7, you would like the K-5II even more. I had a K-5, replaced it with a K-5IIs - it's worth the difference, IMO.
P.S. Both cameras have the excellent 16MP Sony sensor, much less noisier than the K-7's Samsung. Alex On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 4:59 AM, Doug Brewer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, troops.
