Why does there seem to be so many K5's for sale lately?

photolady95 · 08-27-2013, 02:52 PM

Because people are upgrading to K5lls or K50s, would be my guess.

Or anticipating better things coming...

I will sell mine as well (probably not here though, hoping to find customers in my hometown) - just because I have a brand new K-5 IIs.

I am a bit surprised myself also. I promised myself I would not sell my K-5 until it breaks. Promised myself this only because I have been on a upgrading spree before I got my K-5, had a K2000 to K-7 to K-5. The K-5 is understandable of why it would be wise not to upgrade due to it's great low noise at high iso and decent AF as well as solid build quality. The K-7 and K2000 I had, I was not happy with the noise levels and especially the AF on the K2000. The K-5 is more than just good enough, I won't ever understand why people will upgrade it so soon to a K-5ii or a K-50 when it can be used for at least a couple more years before being somewhat of an outdated.

This can only mean one of two things:
1) Pentax is doomed.
2) FF is coming.
