Your never believe it in this months practical photography has a review of the k-s2
So just take it with a pinch of salt
Pentax K100D + DA18-55ALII + DA55-300
Pentax K5 + FA31Ltd + M50/1.7 + DFA100WR + M120/2.8 (+ DA18-55WR at occasion)
pros weather- and dust-resistant body great image quality, wi-fi and nfc, flip screen.
Cons Unintuitive menu, restricted autofocus, frame coverage, uncomfortable handling, limitid video functionality, and low battery life
Sounds fair to me.
The cameras we use at work are all by the same manufacturer but all different models, and they don't even have the on-off switch in the same place! The three Pentax dSLRs I have had all have it in the same place, around the shutter button just under your index finger. Works for me! I have barely touched the K-3 manual because 95% of things work just the same as the K10 and K20.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I don't have that camera but I find the menu thing very curious. I have often heard Pentax moaned at for the menus, but have always found them straightforward and easy to use compared to other makes I have used. Very odd.

Agree 100%

I agree. The Canon menu is very odd. I guess it's what we're used to, but all too often I'm standing in the middle of a field, scratching my head, trying to find so feature buried deep within the camera.
