Originally posted by aoeu I want the K-1 Mark 2 to be good enough that many upgrade to it so I can buy a used K-1 at a reasonable price. That's been my plan now for almost five years and though I wasn't expecting it to be this year I'm hopeful. My K-5 has been a good camera and still is but I want the full effect of my wider lenses without the limitations of film.
I think that the mk2 will be good enough to worth the upgrade (for many K-1 users) especially if the SR2 is working as described
The "problem" for you is that this does not necessarily mean more K-1s available second hand in the market.
The mk2 will also bring AF upgrade, but we don't even mention it, as:
1. Most people were expecting in a mk2 model the D5 AF module (but for less than 2K).
2. Most people don't even believe there is an actual upgrade (even in software) from I to II models.
I'm quite pleased with the K-1 AF though (for what I shoot) and if the mk2 brings further improvement, it will be welcomed!
In a few hours things will be clearer...
