Ive no idea.... but I do know that the K5 doesnt even
come within a mile of the D700 autofucus. Its not even
close enough to breathe the same air lol
Maybe the d700 was a mistake though.
If not, then there tests are not worth the paper they are writen on. It realy is that simple.

The K-5 has a MUCH nicer noise profile than the Mk2 btw so you do get less noise but its ugly noise on the Mk2

I know what the advantages are, I came from the 5d to the k-5. The K-5 is still the all round superior camera.

Well he said he came from the 5d not the 5dII, even though later he was talking about 5dII noise profiles. Even if he prefers that of the K5, the noise still comes in later up the ISO scale for the 5dII so is less of an issue anyway.
