Originally posted by yomer Adam. I preordered the K5 II with the 18-135 lens from adorama. I can still change my order for the K5IIs body and buy a separate lens. Is the IIs that much sharper? I'm starting to wonder if there will be any moiré after all with IIs. Please help. Did anyone get both the II and IIs?
The IIs is a lot sharper, yes.
I just spent the past hour trying to find moire on various fabrics. I finally managed to force it to show itself, but TBH, it's hardly noticeable on the final product. If you use your camera primarily outdoors, the chances of seeing moire as slim, and the chances of it ruining your photos are next to none, I would say. I still wouldn't recommend the IIs to the average newbie, but if you're an enthusiast user that knows the risks and knows how to use Photoshop, I personally see no reason not to go for the K-5 IIs if you're going to upgrade from a K-5.
Sample will be posted soon (fabric taken with the K-5 vs K-5 IIs)
