JR K5 IIs review
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 ...

JR K5 IIs review
An amusing verbal sparing session... really a great read :) Having read John's very nice review I see two key problems on the evidential side. 1) To avoid any doubt both camera bodies need to be tested along side each other at the same time under the same environmental conditions with the very...

JR K5 IIs review
Managed to get some test shots today with the new K5IIs and the most definate improvement from my old K7 is the ISO noise control. Also undoubtedly is the clearer image and detail quality with the AA filter taken out. Not noticed any moire yet but as has been pointed out it obviously is there when t...

JR K5 IIs review
When I initially tried with the FA50/1.4 & DA*50-135 it was really a huge difference - compared with what I was used to from the K5. Comparing those images with images already on the card from the K5 the difference is definite and very welcome ;) That difference is still there, and I can't put it al...

JR K5 IIs review
Ok... I've had a couple of days shooting with the K5IIs. All good :) * Focus is much, much more definite. The Mk1 was kind of "ooops, back a bit, hang on, forward a touch... yeah", whereas the Mk2 is "ziiip, focus". It knows where it's going and doesn't usually fiddle about ;) Obviously there...

New Pentax Firmware updates for 6 cameras
[quote:3496ace15f="Algernon"] LV Manual Focus seems better. I took 3 shots and they were all spot on..... usually they are a little bit out. - How would LV focus be off? It's through the sensor itself? i.e WYSIWYG I think this could only occur if something moves between using LV for focusing ...

Price drop $100 k5ii k5iis
The 100usd price drop has nothing to do with HRMC and is a decision by Pentax, price drops over the pond usually filter through worldwide eventually... Most prices in the US dont usually include sales tax, which is usually added on at the till. Nearly every body released by pentax in the last fiv...

The D600 is pretty much a game changer woth regards to any future ff launch by any camera manufacturer. By the time Pentax launch their ff the d600 will most likely be down to around £1100ish how Pentax can compete against that I am not sure, but not only is price an issue so are features. A dual...

And that reflects just how quickly the market changes, i was looking at the d7100 spec this morning and it looks like Nikon have seen the new k-5 as a threat and copied some of the ideas like filterless AA and fully sealed body. I was thinking the same thing. Although ref the person above's comment...

AP Sensor Test
The new issue of AP dropped through my letterbox today and includes an interesting test report. They looked at the K-5 IIs and Fuji XPro1 (both with no AA filter) and the Nikon D600 (FF but with AA filter) to see where the current sensor performances lie compared to each other. The differences be...

Good article John. It also highlights the K5IIs ability to retrieve shadows- it was impressed with this.

AP Sensor Test
I'll have to see if my digital edition is ready for download. I'm still vacillating on whether to get a K5IIs or wait and see if the long-rumoured FF camera is going to appear... Does anyone have any links to noise comparisons between the K5 and K5IIs BTW? I could do with a couple of extra stops ...

I guess I will wait and see if a FF Pentax comes out. Meanwhile I may just get the AA filter removed from my K5.....cheaper than buying a K5IIs. My IR Sony has exactly the same sensor, and the AA filter on that was removed during the IR conversion. The Sony definitely resolves more detail.

AP Sensor Test
I also wonder if the difference between the performance of K5 and K5llS is just down to the actual removal of the filter. For instance is different software used to adjust for the no filter scenario or other hardware changed?

K-5IIs - more discussion
Hasn't this all been excessively discussed in lots if detail in other threads already? Comparing sharpness of mkiis to mki proves nothing as they are not the same in terms of improved focus and removal of the aa filter and slightly improved sensor and firmware. I found the mkii sharper than th...

Hasn't this all been excessively discussed in lots if detail in other threads already?........I found the mkii sharper than the mki and put this down to improved focus accuracy, the mkiis sharpness must also significantly be improved via improved focussing than the removal if the aa filter alone.
