Mine hopefully will arrive next week. After a brief test drive in Jessops, I found it had more room for my thumb than on the Lumix G6 I'm trading in which is a great camera for small hands or tripod use. I was looking for a lighter, well, lighter than a gripped K5IIs, with an articulated viewing screen for every day use and the built in shake resistance, weather proofing and the fact I can use the lenses I have were the clincher for my choosing K-S2, of course the good reviews helped too. Will publish some pics as soon as
Did you get the summer Cashback too Stan? I know you bought from Jessops but I Just noticed there seems to have been £100 lopped off the price at SrS and with £40 cashback, you can now get one for just over £400, which is fantastic!

One may be coming my way at the end of the summer, would be my dream compact camera coupled with a 40 Ltd, or the 40 XS for the madness of it.

Another K-S2 Vid, from someone (David Hancock) who'm I suspect during his review period with the Camera, sat it on the pillow next to him when he went to bed at night!

"WARNING" Gushing praise alert...

A positive review for the K-S2 from someone who is unashamedly a Canon/Nikon shooter. Most reviews have been very positive, looking like a great little camera.
Agreed, I really need to see if it makes any real difference between 12/14 bit files and 20/24 Mp, K-S2 could be for me, I always thought I could tell with my Old Nikon files when I was really pulling the files around in Lightroom but imaging and processing has come a long way since then...

Video of the K-S2 up against the Nikon D5500, Canon T6i/s and 70D. Quote from Tony Northrup: "I was really impressed with it. It's our first Pentax review but I was really blown away. It's a great, great value, and I can't not recommend it " -Tony Northrup on the K-S2 for serious beginners.
He recommends it for sports shooters... Caveat-(Casual Sports Shooters)
He's a Canikon guy so the video is mostly about them but he really likes the little K-S2...

Imaging Resource seem to like the K-S2 but not so much it's collapsible buddy, overall fair reviewing with the many pluses far outweighing the negatives, although he hasn't got to video yet...
