I went from the K-5iis to the KP. In terms of ergonomics and handling, I find them about on par. Perhaps the K-5 series of cameras were a bit more comfortable to hold, but with the largest grip on the KP I don't have any issues. With the KP I find the e-dial a step forward in terms of handling, but the flyover menus in the status and playback screens a step back.
Originally posted by Rockbox As soon as I can get out and about I'm looking forward to comparing KP and EM-1ii. I have certain expectations, for example about continuous auto focus and tracking and about low light performance but I'll have to be patient for a while. Anybody any experience of similar comparisons?
I have the E-M5ii, and I had the E-M5 before that. For years, I used these m43 cameras for the bulk of my hand-held work at wide to normal focal lengths because of the superb 5-axis stabilization. Since acquiring the KP, I've used the m43 less. The KP's 5-axis stabilization, while not quite as good as the E-M5ii, is nonetheless close, and the image quality of the KP, even at base ISO, is flat out better. I'm keeping my m43 stuff around primarily for video use, where that format really shines.
