I just bought your k5, k5II, K5IIs book last night and i was quite disappointed. While the title says its for all 3 cameras, it specifically is for the k5 not the other two. After a quick glance it seems you didnt cover anything on the other 2 cameras which is what i specifically bought the book for. Maybe i missed something? Or all 3 cameras are that similar that you can blanket write for the 3 of them? Just curious how i should read this.

Vega,

The three cameras are indeed so similar that it didn't warrant a unique e-book for each. I didn't want anyone that had the K-5 DSLR, and had ordered my e-book for it, to upgrade to the K-5II or K-5IIs DSLR and order a new e-book for it. That would have not been right. The operation of all three cameras are the same. Some of the electronics has been upgraded but it is operated exactly the same way as the K-5.

Check this link on Pentaxforums where Adams comments on the K-5 series of DSLRs.

The sharpness of the K-5 IIs is slightly better than that of the K-5/K-5 II as it doesn't have an antialiasing filter in front of its sensor. This means that with very sharp lenses, you'll be able to get out-of-camera photos with more clarity. This has a trade-off, however, as having no AA filter means that there's an increased risk for moire artifacts in your photos. In practice, filterless cameras really don't do that much better than traditional ones, and since the K-5 IIs is otherwise identical to the K-5/K-5 II in terms of noise performance and dynamic range, usually the output will be the same. More info can be found here: Pentax K-5 II / IIs Review - Introduction - PentaxForums.com

If you're looking to get your first DSLR, then I would say get the original K-5 for $699. It's basically the same camera for a lot less.

Is the $10 sale still on? If so, I'll buy the KS-2 e-book.
Thanks, Wendy

I've just bought the e-book for the K-S2 and I've already found a couple of items that will help me, so so far so good.

I'm glad to see that it has full (direct link) bookmarks. Some other PDFs that I have do not have these and it's a real pain.

Looks like I've got some fun reading to do!
