Hi rags..here the K5 and K5II are about the same price,but the K5IIs is alot more..as with you I also do landscapes,so the extra resolution would be nice..just wonder as its said 'man made' patterns are more likely to have moire,but natural patterns can also have similar textures.....
Originally posted by rags I had one more thought after re-reading the K-5 II/IIs review here, and that's the question as to whether, with K-5s still available at much bargain basement prices, the II/IIs is really worth the very big price premium it's currently commanding. For my type of shooting improved auto focus was what I was hoping for in the new models. Unfortunately, from what the review reports, if I read it correctly, the advantages are less than anticipated; some better low-light focusing ability, and some faster focus locking, albeit without an increase accuracy, but only at some (lower) light levels. So, again, the question is whether the II/IIs is enough better than the original K-5 to justify the very much higher price, at least while stocks of the original are still available so inexpensively?
