I believe that if you already have Picasa it will still operate but there will not be any upgrades. I bought Lightroom 6 from Amazon for a one-off payment but it will not apparently get the upgrades like a subscription service.

TBH, for me, 36 megapixels is the least attractive part of the package.

The main point of Lightroom is that it is a system for managing your images as well as editing them. If you only wanted some editing software, you did indeed buy the wrong package. I have found, however, that I do 95% of my photo-related tasks in Lightroom starting with downloading the images from my SD cards and moving on from there. Most of my images are also entirely edited in Lightroom. If, however, some form of cloning (beyond simple spot or red eye removal) is needed, I get Lightroom to drop me into my now-antiquated version of Photoshop (CS3), and once I have finished the new version automatically appears in Lightroom. One of the things I really like is being able to have multiple 'virtual' versions of the same image with different edits applied (e.g., BW and colour, toned or not toned, etc.) but only have one physical copy of the image on my rapidly shrinking hard-disk.
I agree the lack of a manual is a pain, and I hate the cloud-rental scheme that Adobe has gone with (I haven't bought into that idea yet, and will avoid it as long as I can), but once you get the hang of how it all works, it is a great tool.

I use AutoCAD software for work which came with a comprehensive manual

I won't be buying one for a while, but I hope it sells bucketloads and there's no production problems/recalls ala sensor stains and flappy mirrors, etc

I was involved in the original elongated discussions about this and no one who claimed the K-5IIs was sharper, was able to provide any evidence of this.
K-5IIs has better AF, especially in Low light and was the reason I swapped one of my K-5's for a MKII version. Only reason I got an 's' was one came up at a good price, I would have been just as happy with a K-5II
