From my research there seems to be a view that a shot taken with a K5II + pp is the equal of the same shot taken with a K5IIs without pp.
I felt the UK price premium for the IIs was a con so I bought a K5II simply because it was cheaper than the K5IIs by some margin.
Are the same shots straight out of the IIs better than the II (no pp)? In my view, yes.

Thanks. I looked at the Adobe site, and they are wrong. JohnX wrote:
Have a look at: Adobe Raw Plugin which says minimum version 7.3 for a K5II and Elements 10 will only work up to v6.7Gamka wrote:

The versions Photoshop Elements have a limit on which cameras they will deal with and is defined by the Camera Raw Plugin:
V9 latest plugin 6.5 supports K20D, K-5, K7 (and other earlier)
v10 6.7 as V9
v11 7.2 K-30, K5ii, K5iiS
Which version of Elements do you have?
I'm using PE 10, and it happily opens my K5II RAW files using Camera Raw Plugin 6.6. Are you suggesting it shouldn't?Just had a trawl through the Adobe site.

It would seem a bit daft for their latest version to strip out support for previous cameras just so that the latest update supports only the K-30, K5ii, and K5iiS.

Odd really as it's their product, but, as said, PE10 with Camera Raw 6.6 is very happy with the RAW output from my K5II.

I'd try another card, but to be honest it looks like either a camera fault or something wrong with it's settings. How's your white balance setting? Have you played around with any of the effect options?
Try resetting the camera to factory defaults. p296 of your manual.
That said, how do the shots appear on the camera rear screen before you remove the card? If ok, then it points to a problem with something in the process (software or hardware) that you're using to transfer the shots from the card to your PC, or when you pp the shots after they've been transferred.
I also notice that you had something similar earlier in the year, but you never said how that was resolved.
When I say similar, you posted a shot of a telephone box that (a) had a slight colour cast, and (b) displayed odd coloured pixels down the right hand side.

A battery charger that'll also work in the car? Hahnel do one, the UniPal.
That said, given the distance vs. time, will you actually have time for any photography
I did New Zealand a few years ago, over 5 weeks, and barely scrapped the surface at around 100 miles/day, and you'll need to average 3-4 times that.

The K30 has a good rep, so K30 + cash towards a long lens makes sense.

+1 Some great work. Love the panoramas.

rigidity = better = fewer leg sections = less compact for travel
