I was hunting around here for awhile, I was in the market for a new camera - my Canon 20d, is showing it's age and I was tired of Canon and I wanted a change (though I think it's funny the 60d is only .3fps faster than the 20d after 4 or 5 years). So I went digging. Used dpreview to get some ideas and started looking at the k-50 (I also have an old ME Super from my Dad I use to shoot on, and using the 50mm lens intrigured me), then I looked at the k-5, then I saw the k-5ii, went around for awhile looking at a 60d and d5200 or d7000...but kept coming back to the k-5ii. I sat with a k-5ii in my shopping cart online for like a month, alright maybe 2 weeks and kept switching through lens and bundles...I had been getting information from this site also helping me along - and then I saw the picture thread and started reading more on the k-5iis (I was a little nervous about moire), but I decided to switch over to the k-5iis and put it in my cart. I also settled on a Tamron 18-200 lens.
As way of info on me, I'm a nerd...I work with SharePoint (front end development), Service-Now, PHP, jQuery,HTML/CSS, I also have a bunch of kids and two cats and a wife...
Well, I finally got a chance to play around with it...and I'm in LOVE (and I don't care who knows it...
)!!! I'm so impressed with the sharpness even with middle of the road glass...
