Originally posted by djc737 I have been seriously tempted to get a IIs to replace my K-5 but have held off to see what may come this spring. While I like the fixes done to the II models, a 24 mp either APC or FF sans AA filter would really be a bigger upgrade for me. Definitely worth waiting a month or two to see if the roumors are true. How many others here are doing the same?
The K5II seems solid so far and I am waiting to see what comes out next before I decide what to do. I gave my backup K5 to my daughter-in-law for Christmas, so I would rotate the K5 into backup.
The K5 had its share of issues, especially at first, so I will be hesitant to jump on a K3 right away, but the K30, K-01 and K5II seem better so far, so maybe that will not be a problem this time (fingers crossed).
The good news is that the pricing of the lower level FF bodies and the pricing I have seen on the upcoming Nikon D7100 will hopefully mean that the K3 will be introduced closer to $1,000 than the K5s intro price of almost $1500. That also means the K5II should drop fast to well below the current pricing once the K3 is announced.
