JR K5 IIs review
I admit I saw it there but didn't read it. Having just taken up SRS on their offer and gone the ii without the s I didn't feel so inclined to read it. I couldn't have justified the price difference for an extra letter and a filter less. I have now read the article and it is interesting, but I'm...

All the digital filter images, all the white balance images, all the image style images (such as Bright, Natural, etc.) have been repeated and are all full sized, full res images. It would have been impossible to go much further with more lenses, given the time available with the camera and also ...

What I find fascinating is the hyperbole ... LOL, the hyperbole is funny, however I'm more flabbergasted with the references to the Nikon 800E, particularly: "There is currently a £130 street price difference between the K-5 II and K-5 IIs bodies. However, the K-5 IIs is also, on the same basis...

I'll pick up your points Dodge69. First what you call hyperbole, or at least agree with I presume, is actually my feeling towards what I saw. Now I saw exciting possibilities so what I wrote reflects that enthusiasm. Amusing or not, it's genuine enthusiasm, and I make no aplogies for that. The...

I am surprised that so far most comments have been about price and sharpness rather than the risk of moiré, which I thought was the reason for the AA filter. I would imagine that wedding photographers would opt for the K5-II rather than the IIs regardless of price, or is moiré not considered much of...

Since my last post I loaded John's II and IIs comparison shots into Lightroom and those tiny tiny differences I did see were completely gone after dialling in some normal sharpness. The II required perhaps 5% more sharpness than the IIs to render them equal, and I was viewing at 200%. I'm disa...

The following is a direct quote from the Digital Photography Review (dpreview) web site's in-depth review of the original K-5: "Thanks to the camera's comparatively weak AA filter the Pentax K-5 produces very good detail in both JPEG and RAW image modes." This would also seem to suggest an exp...

But each successive tests from IR, DPreview, John have all confirmed to me that there's simply no practical gain to be had from removing the AA filter on the K-5. Waste of an extra £130 IMHO and a more sensible option would be to put that £130 towards another lens. That has been my final conclusion ...

Well, with the SRS offer I'm plumping for the K5IIs. Actually, in researching, I've seen that apertures smaller than around f/13 start to introduce diffraction - and that's where the moire disappears and the lack of AA filter is a distinct advantage ;) (see http://www.neocamera.com/article/moire_...

Why the fixation with sharpness ? Because it's £130 extra for the K5IIs :P And because people notice the difference when I print large format :D It's also relevant when aggressively cropping. I'm also interested in hearing from real-world examples of using the K5IIs - but it's a tricky one si...

If you've got the cash your gonna buy the 'top model' aren't you? John's review, from a general audience point of view, certainly throws a lot enthusiasm at the reader, It would get me considering it. (Though I maintain the D800 is a different beast. Given the compactness of K5 & Limited's, would...

The IIs review states: "The II delivers excellent, sharp images to screen or print and is up amongst the best performers in its class, and beyond. The IIs adds a sense of effortless clarity to the fine detail and absolutely excels at rendering texture. In a practical sense, whatever the measured ...

I took the plunge yesterday and traded my K7 body for the K5IIs body at Buckland Photographic in Seaford, East Sussex. The shop offered me £300 trade for my K7 so ended up paying £569 for the K5IIs body, didn't need the kit lens as I have the 17-70mm lens. As of yet I haven't probably tested it but ...
