Viewing pics takes longer. If you have an old PC, chances are you may need to upgrade that PC.
Valid points. My old PC was up to the task, but my new one (built as a response to the EOL for Win XP) simply screams when editing the larger files. The two 2 TB drives were a bit of a bite, but that sort of comes with the territory.

Originally posted by DSims Unless your lenses already include * and Ltd models, you should probably get the K-5 IIs
I pretty much agree with what you are saying, but not from the perspective of needing premium glass to fully realize the potential of the sensor. I have been pleasantly surprised to find that many (not all) of my vintage lenses do quite nicely with the K-3. It was a huge surprise to find that my Helios-44M is still just a small notch off my FA 77/1.8 Limited on the K-3 and that my long-suffering Zenitar fisheye is also up to the challenge. I will repeat for emphasis...It was a HUGE surprise.
So, despite purchase of the K-3, I don't see myself buying a fresh supply of * and Limiteds.

One thing that I have not seen mentioned is the inclusion of three f/2.8 cross-type AF sensors (vertical array at center) to accommodate faster lenses. The K-5 IIs only has one.
