I haven't be able to justify taking K-5 II since the differences with my k-5 are just too little. Instead I've got Canon 6D on order. I'll play with it and decide to switch the brands or not. Then I'll sell whatever equipment became redundant.

Pentax system is very good one and I am really enjoying the look, feel, top notch ergonomic and compactness overall. However since my 18 months old son started to pick up considerable speed in his movement around I've got a close to zero keeper shots when trying to follow him. Especially indoor. Pentax still lacks on the focus front and I cannot see this will get that better soon. Mainly because it is not only the body but lens dependent too. For example my DA*55 f1.4 has probably the best IQ and certainly the widest aperture in my collection. However SDM auto-focus is so painfully slow. I hope Canon will give me more on this respect along with all the other FF goodies.

Please take all of these as my own opinion. I do not consider myself as even advanced enthusiast and I know a lot of shot failures I had are because of the lack of skills. I am sure Pentax in the hands of a pro can do a lot beautiful stuff so yeah, camera is just the tool. But also I do believe advance of the tech can compensate a bit of the lack of experience. Otherwise photography would not have became such of popular and wide spread hobby in the first place.

I little comment on the costs part: If you look careful Canon 6D is far less than twice the price of K5IIs. If you put in the equation build in GPS (£200 from Pentax) and WiFi actually it looks even cheap Also after the recent years price hike of Pentax glass, some of the Canon's equivalent FF lenses are even cheaper (well at least these what I am interested on)!

Obviously anyone using the software for Business

At least when software was sold in boxes it was delivered

Somethin's not right here .... do any companies pay any tax?
