Ouch! I guess I am not a 'real photographer' then.......
I think the most amazing thing is that with all the new stuff, lenses, cameras, FF announced more stuff coming, the only thing that is getting much traffic is whether there should be a silly flash on board. Obviously this issue has created a lot of polarization in the community. Most of which I'm baffled about. Some used it, some did not. Some people use GPS and some don't. I cursed the lack of on board GPS every time I forgot the O-GPS in my bag. I'm personally delighted that the flash is gone and the GPS is on board.
Granted old school photography did not require location embedded in the EXIF. That is changing and having it in the image automatically is a big deal to some photographers. Real or not.

Correct. That is my real world. Shooting daily and selling both stock and prints. And I said "clearly superior" not better dynamic range. The k-5IIs does have slightly better DR. If that is the only criteria for evaluation, OK then the k-5IIs is better. I'm still going to continue shooting with the k-3 though, I get more salable images that way.
