Think you need to be a little more realistic with your pricing for the k-5 can be bought new for £679 now, possibly cheaper now new one announced...

No worries

Hmm I would call a d4 or 1d or d800 etc as high end a £800 camera is not high end!

The k-5 is not a high end dslr though is it???

New k-5s are very very thin on the ground.

Currys and Jessops have no stock, which leaves independent dealers, who I guess may if you're lucky have a body each. But even this is unlikely...

Calling it the mkii is inspired, the k-5 is a very well reviewed camera both in the press and by users. Calling it the mkii builds on the brand trust built by the k-5.

Any manufacture will not be bothered about stocks of older models being held by dealers, these have already been paid for and as the newer model is around £150 more than the old the old model will still sell...

Haha love it when a plan comes together. Fingers crossed they made the paper

Hmm think people on here have been moaning about af speed since the beginning of time. Now we have what looks like a significant increase people are saying its a poor upgrade...

Can't please everyone all the time. I don't think pentax will replace their flagship ApS c body with full frame, rather they will have both k-5 and an ff model...

will have alook when I see it in the shelf

1% wow even that U think will be well optimistic. Maybe 0.2%

Just been chatting to Pentax on Facebook the focussing range has increased from ev-1 to ev+18 to ev-3 to ev+18 this is looking impressive....
