Really? That's great. I mean, it's not inexpensive by any means, but it gives existing owners an upgrade path whilst hanging on to their existing cameras. It's a great alternative to selling your K-1 and buying the K-1II...
I wouldn't be infuriated by the level of change. Whilst the feature set may not be hugely different, it is - as you say - enough to warrant a new refresh model. And we know by now that there's more than just firmware required to turn a K-1 into a K-1II. Most people won't need to upgrade... New buyers, however, are in luck
