Wife just got the KS2 and she loves it. She placed a lot of importance on the screen and small size, though. I've messed with it a little and can see the appeal. Very nice rig, perfect replacement for her K-X.
I have a K-5 and i prefer it. The top LCD is something more important to me than an articulating screen. The power grip i'm not sure i care about. Both of our cameras seem to have very long battery life, and we both just carry a spare or two. That said, it's rare that either of us take more than say 300 pictures a day, i don't know what your use would be like.
My HONEST opinion: Your money goes farther with a used K-5ii or K-3 at this point. The K-S2 is great and my wife loves it, but it felt a bit weird paying $200+ more for it than i grabbed my K-5 for, as i like the K-5 better. A used K-5ii should be cheaper than the K-S2, you might be able to find a used K-3 for around the same price as the K-S2, which is what i would do. But it really comes down to your wants/needs.
Originally posted by csa I know only too well, that getting down on the ground anymore is not possible for me, unless I fall down on the ground; then I wouldn't be able to get up!
Perhaps those that own a KS2 can tell me how "usable" the screen is in bright sunlight.
The screen in bright sunlight is about as "usable" as the screen on my K-5 in live view mode is in bright sunlight. Better than nothing, not great.
