How I arrived at my IIs
It all started with a Fuji s3500 really. Then I upgraded to a very nice s9500, wish I still had that one. I took the 9500 to Malta where it did all I asked, I loved the dual memory cards on it, save raw to one and jpeg to 'tuther un. A feature I think all decent cameras should have. When I got home ...

Digital Camera Magazine - Pentax K-30
All the reviews of the Pentax Q mentioned the small sensor which put me off buying one, when the price came down I took the plunge, if I had listened to all the reviews, both magazine and on the Web I would have missed these shots. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris-judge/sets/72157631977076250/ ...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
We're talking about a filter (over the sensor) - its purpose until very recently was to compensate for certain deficiencies in sensor technology, more so for smaller units I understand. If technology has now advanced to the point that the filter is no longer required, how can that be anything other ...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
Your all as blind as bats! :mrgreen: I said earlier what the problem was :shock: It's almost impossible to focus twice on the same spot. The K-5IIS K52ShSLI00100NRAD.JPG shot is out of focus in most of the frame so the K30 actually looks better :shock: If you look at the white cloth under ...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
Wouldn't you expect the Nikon D800E to show the advantages of removing the anti-aliasing filter even more clearly -- because of the larger sensor -- than the Pentax K5IIs? Unless Pentax engineers have outperformed by some way their counterparts at Nikon. Yet Ken Rockwell (see http://kenrockwel...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
The K-5II does improve the AF over the K-5 and that's something I would like, but can't justify upgrading to. Agreed. Not interested unless I need a new body. The K5IIs is undoubtedly a improvement, just not compared to previous updates. The K5IIs is appealing if you are coming to the system, or ...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
I'm thinking the 's' version would not have any difference in AF performance above the standard K5II ? Under normal shooting (ie using optical viewfinder) on an SLR, ASAIK the AF sensor gets its light via the pentaprism / mirror directly, it doesn't depend on the sensor. Of course, this may be d...

K-5II vs K-5IIs
I’ve read much about the K-5II vs K-5IIs. It’s confusing! I want to upgrade from the K-7 because of the better high ISO performance, low noise, better dynamic range and better auto focusing (I’ve found the DXO Labs site helpful here http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Database...

K-5II vs K-5IIs
Thanks so far everyone. Price isn't a big issue, I've decided on a II or a IIs (better LCD and according to DXO Mark slightly better sensor performance than the K-5), the price difference here in Oz isn't as great as the UK.

K-5II vs K-5IIs
It could turn out to be all irrelevent and useless, if you want a cheap K-5 buy now as the next generation of cameras will have filterless sensors. Sensor technology is advancing at such a rate, along with the hardware and firmware they wont need filters. Cheers Dave:wink::wink::wink:

K-5II vs K-5IIs
So are the comparisons on Imaging resources and DPreview irrelevant and useless? Not useless, but not a real world comparison. I would rather see some comparison done at extreme low light conditions with some side by side focussing speed comparison videos... Shooting comparisons in studios is all...

K-5II vs K-5IIs
I think we should look at this another way - the AA filter has always been there to compensate for sensor technology limitations, ie: the production of moire under certain conditions. On the most modern and larger sensors (APS up) available now, technology has improved to the point that moire produc...

Don't forget that the K5 uses the same sensor as the D7000. Derek

A Happy Dilemma! Two K-5s vs K-5 and K-30
Yeah, it certainly makes a lot of sense to have the two bodies the same. I guess it just seems a shame as my storm-trooper white k-30 is so cute and new to me! Funnily enough, over the past year I think I shot slightly more with the K-R than the K-5. This was because I usually kept my big long ...
