Hi just got the upgrade, anyone seen any major improvement. I like wildlife, bird stuff and autofocus I find was not fast enough, hoping for faster focusing

Do you mean you got your K-1 converted to a K-1 II? How long did it take?

Comparing the two cameras the most significant change, IMO, is the dynamic pixel shift. AF has also been improved for tracking so it makes smarter choices, but speed-wise it's the same as always.

Welcome to the forum, the upgrade didn't offer anything additional that I need just now over my original K1s.

So I've not gone that route yet, let us know how you get on.
