Originally posted by geoffw Hi all. I'm thinking of upgrading from my K200. I was going for the K5 but not sure whether to keep saving for a K5/2 or be really patient and save for a K3 though not sure if the K3 is too big a jump. Any thoughts or advice gladly received. Thanks.
The K-5 and K-5 II are basically the same camera, so I think you'd be fine with the original K-5, which is already a very big upgrade over the K200. With that said, the K-5 II (now discontinued) is available for around
$699 and you probably won't find a new K-5 anywhere for that cheap, if at all. Used ones can be found all over the place, though, including our Marketplace.
