I have been looking for K-5 IIs price for the last little while, I hoped that K-3 has made a big jump so that the K-5 IIs becomes more affordable for my range..... going to check out the 'used' price soon.

Can't you return it if you don't want it?

Someone at Pentax Australia better proofread that thing. I saw a handful of typos at a glance.

Indeed, but none of us would expect it to be noiseless at 12800

Of coruse there is PP and the area aronud the eyes has been shdaow boosted, so it's probabyl like 26500

anyway just to show you can get "reasonable" quality from 12800

back to the K-3 ....

Would love to find out if there's expandable ISO or not. Adorama is listing the K-3 with "ISO range 80-51,200" in their first look. I hope it isn't just a typo, but why retype something instead of copy paste?
