Well did the shoot today with the K5IIS so here are three shots just test shots with it.
1.
2.
3.
all these have not been PP only one for b/w but thats all
so here we go
I shot with the ISO up to 51200,
And with continuous shooting
The Image quality is outstanding trust me you really don’t need to sharpen any images with this camera?At all.
There are three shots here the only thing I have done is put one in black n white to see what it would look like.
If you get the Exposure right you can’t lose at all.
The low-pass-filter-free does make a big difference.
So I am going to test it out side and do a video so you can see what it can do, I need to do some landscapes with it to see how it does with them.
So far 10 out 10.
The great thing about the K-5 IIs is the K-5 IIs
Please remember that none have been worked on or PP and none have been sharpen at all

Shot RAW or Jpeg?
If RAW I am very impressed indeed... If Jpeg still impressed but not quite as much so...

Eh? Surely you must be looking at the end result and be impressed or not. How it was reached is irrelevant.

If they were JPEGs there would have been a degree of automatic sharpening applied in camera - if RAW (and as puma said there was no PP) then they are obviously nice and sharp 'out of the box', so therefore we have obvious high potential to go from here - eg make them more sharp, print big at great quality etc

That's impressive.
There must be some slight difference in the firmware to the original k-5 for that low noise with no post.
Good shots too.

As I got it the last week and still not played with it? I will be shooting with my K5 and then with my new K5IIS so lets see what it can really do.
I will post some of the shots when iam done so we can all see what its like. Good or bad I will leave alone with no pp.
Then at the weekend i will put it to the test with a tutorial video. only for here.
