k-5II and Live View

Does anyone know whether the K-5II cameras offer any AF speed improvement using live view? Really hoping it is fast like K-30... the live view AF on K-5 is essentially worthless for candids of moving subjects...

It doesnt have the newer processor like the K-30 so it likely wont be as fast. They may have improved a bit from the K-5 though

What kind a candid would need a super-fast live-view AF, just use the viewfinder.

seeing someone with a camera in front of their face isn't very candid. Shooting from the hip, however, looks more like you're reviewing your shots

The K-5 II has the same live view performance as the K-5. In the future, please post your question in one of the discussion forums rather than in the new forum. Thanks!
