We'll see.
They repeated the K-7 as the K-5, so why not a K-5 II?
Makes perfect sense to me. Wouldn't be the first dSLR manufacturer to do so.
IF there is any truth in this rumour it also suggests a significant expansion to the number of models in the range, but this is something Pentax have previously hinted at so not really a surprise. Presumably there will be a low end model below the K-30, then the K-5 mkII, then the even higher end (24mp?) K-3. A four model DSLR range for Pentax for the first time.
Personally I welcome this, I would be more likely to go for a K-5 mkII than a K-3, as I don't want or need 24mp.

Fan of DA limited and old manual lenses
I'd be surprised if there's nothing with the Sony 24MP sensor in it.
I'm beginning to think that Pentax should have used the 24MP sensor in the K30 - that would have been a shot across the bows of Canikon
But then a K-3 with 24 MP would be quite near in market position.....
I am with Smeggy on this: Maybe they opted to keep an improved K-5 as a low-cost upgrade so they could invest in something else.....

I'm very pleased they haven't dumped such a winning body design - VERY!
