I was after a k5iis or a k3, keeping an eye out for something in my price range, though expecting it to be the k5iis. I subsequently bought a used, mint, low use (1800) k3 on here recently for £370, which I am delighted with.
as Bill says, subsequent bodies allow previous models to slip in value, but the k5iis seems to be still holding well in comparison.

Roughly speaking....
K5 around £200
K5iis around £400
K3 around £350-£400.
My question is:- (lets assume all in excellent condition, reasonable shutter count, boxed etc) is the k5iis worth twice the cost of the k5....or a cost of £200 to upgrade from k5. Or is the k3 better value for around the same cost as the k5iis?

Their choice.
