K-5 II vs. K-5 IIs - why the price difference?
I don't remember the details off-hand now but I do remember reading the reason why. If you remove the AA filter then there are other adjustments that need to be made to the camera - you can't just remove the filter and away you go. I think this explains everything! The price difference is for the ef...

K-5 II vs. K-5 IIs - why the price difference?
It's like hi-fi amps.... they are dearer without bass/treble controls. :shock: I think they replace the AA filter with a more expensive invisible filter :wink: Just think of it as a sucker tax :shock: :wink:

K-5 II vs. K-5 IIs - why the price difference?
The images are very different with, and without the AA-filter. Without it the images are actually easy noticable quite a lot sharper. The drawback is of course moiré, and then especially in movie mode. People do forget that they don't just simply remove the low-pass filter from the sensor. Sure...

K-5 II vs. K-5 IIs - why the price difference?
The IIs is definitely the one to get. I have long called for a small sensor camera with no AA filter, given that the 645D and similar don't have them to begin with. It took Nikon to do it, but at least Pentax are copying the right thing!

So is the K5II And K5IIS Worth buying ?
I intend to upgrade my trusty 7 to a 5 IIs if the AA filter does take away a little sharpness and, as Smeggy says, the moire can be fixed in software, providing it appears in the shot in the first place. There are a list of valid reasons for me to make the jump. And besides I've almost worn my 7 out...

Sample shots from both the K-5 II and IIs. Shame they're not directly comparable.
I'm swaying towards the K-5II (without the 's'). I'm not sure I need 'extreme detail'. Extreme low-light, yes. What I'd like to know is, does removing the AA filter let any more light onto the sensor, and if so, is it significant? (1/3-1/2 a stop more light being significant, less and I don't really...

K5 IIs images
Sure, that'd be good to know. There's nothing to suggest its not a good quality lens that I can see. The pictures do look to me like ones that would, with a normal sensor, have had some PP sharpening done. So if they had not had this, then that would be showing us the effect of the removed filter on...

K5 IIs images
Getting distracted into RAW/JPEG discussion will drag us away into a different territory, but going back to the II or IIs question, both Pentax and Nikon have clearly expected that the majority of users will go for the standard versions. Is this just fear on their part that someone will manage to...

K-5ii & K-5iis studio test shots
Why are you expecting difference in image quality. Huh? :? The K5IIs has no AA (anti-aliasing) filter. The AA filter softens the image. True, there is no difference between the K5 and K5II, but a definite increase in resolution with the K5IIs. Less PP, less noise (because no need to sharpen as...

K-5ii & K-5iis studio test shots
Why are you expecting difference in image quality. I'm not some people are because of the removal of the AA sensor. The K-5 probably only has a weak AA sensor anyway. It's compacts that have and need a strong AA filter. I usually MF so faster AF isn't a high priority although I would like to s...

K-5ii & K-5iis studio test shots
The K5ii has the same sensor. It is the K5iis that lacks an AA filter. It really does look a bit sharper.

The K5ii has the same sensor. It is the K5iis that lacks an AA filter. It really does look a bit sharper. Probably worth considering then for those before the K5 model...personally I'm keeping my pennies for the full frame Simon

K-5ii & K-5iis studio test shots
Interesting but predictable. There are some who always seem to want to see the worst in anything new, even before they have it to see. As well as those who think that camera manufacturers have gone into a great effort to add this 'bad' AA filter to deliberately degrade the picture quality of their c...

In real life. Will 'moire' really be a problem?
Well... The 645D and Q already have no AA filter ;-) Moire occurs when the frequency of the image approaches the resolution of the sensor. My understanding is that it was more of a problem at lower sensor resolutions. It's not impossible to get moire but seems pretty tricky, and when it does LR w...

In real life. Will 'moire' really be a problem?
I can see a rash of pictures of people with 1970s-style herringbone jackets on its way! The sort that newsreaders used to wear before TV sets could handle the dreadful moire effects. I'm sure that resolutions are now high enough to make moire a less likely problem even with no AA filter. Hence th...

K5 or K5II?
The difference between the two are not that big tbh. Video is probably the greatest difference between the K5 and the K5 II. I would read , as it applies to the K5 as well. If that is enough to get by in video-mode, I would probably just get an okay second-hand K5, and use the difference on g...

K5 or K5II?
The autofocus difference between the k20d and the k-5 is a huge step up. Whilst I still use my gx20 I will be buying the k-5mkiis I think he removal of the aa filter will improve my gig work. My k-5 doesn't hunt much at gigs but i think the lower light capability may make a little difference not...
