Glad you like it.

So, why did you choose the 's' version then

No doubt, the latest K5II/s models are a lot of camera, and image-making performance, for the price.

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

I still remember the day I got my first K-5. I'd already bought a spare charger and batteries, so fired it up as soon as I got it out of the box and took an identical picture with it and my K20D at something like 1600ISO ( IIRC ) I remember being amazed at the difference.

I want Pentax to make something that will amaze me in the same way.

You should try the Kx at 1600 ISO .......amazing!

My first outing with the K5iiS I inadvertently shot at ISO1600. Can't remember how I spotted it, as it was definitely not apparent from the resulting images!

Enjoy your new camera - I don't regret moving up from a K20 one bit!

Thanks all!

If you get AP- look out for a street photography article- great read and some shots on the Kx.

Cheers

Glad you like it Mac, try TAV mode, because of the ISO capabilities it is probably the most versatile mode.
