Originally posted by yorik Quick question for KS2 shooters who have also used the K5... How do they compare?
Handling is pretty similar with the KS-2 feeling a little smaller to me, but not by much. Buttons have moved a little and there are fewer of them on the KS-2 so I use the Info screen more for settings changes than I did on the K-5. KS-2 is much more responsive in the UI than the K-5 too.
IQ seems pretty similar. I like the files from this sensor, they are easy to work with and have lots of detail to bring out of shadows. It might clip highlights a little easier than the K-5 which might be related to the shallower bit depth or could just be how it meters.
I almost exclusively shoot raw so I haven't paid much attention to the jpeg rendering but that seems fine.
