Honestly, I had bought every flagship dSLR from Pentax from the K100 to the K5, but I skipped the K5 II/IIs. I just couldn't see enough improvement over anything to warrant dumping my K5s for a camera that can focus a little better in the dark. I felt like the K5 II was basically cobbled together so that Pentax would have something to show at Photokina, but with the understanding that there would be a higher end APS-C camera coming later.
I probably will buy the K3 if it has same dynamic range as K5, slight improvement in high iso, and significant improvement in autofocus. Still hoping for a full frame announcement in December, with a release in the first Quarter of 2014...
