That is how I saw 2 models listed. I am not sure if it was a typo or not. I noticed afterward the other differing listings like you mentioned, that is why I changed my above post. Sorry if I confused anyone.

Really though, the newer model would be my first choice even if I did lose a stop of light. I had the earlier model. and the not "silent" AF was one of the reasons I ended up trading it in on Amazon. It did take nice pictures, but to have something that will not startle wildlife or distract people at events (for example attending a ceremony), the attribute is almost invaluable. The way that the newer model behaves with the newer camera model(s), such as the K-S2, may be a communication virtue also.

The 6.3 digit is right per my first post. Again, sorry if I accidentally misled anyone in the second post I corrected almost immediately.
