Originally posted by jimfellows Ok, I m convinced to wait for another good buy on a K-5. Next question, is there a difference between the K-5, K-5II and K-5IIs in image quality? Sometimes I mis the old fil days where the body features were more of a connivance factor rather then an image quality image!
Thanks gain for all the input.

Personally, I'd just go for the best price i could find. If it happens to be a K-5ii then go for it. Around our house we had two K-5s and never felt the need to upgrade. My wife is still happy (and producing great images) with her K-5 even though she occasionally takes my K-3 or K-1 out. She simply prefers the K-5, she's happy with the images, even when comparing them to mine, and knows how to use the camera.
They don't have tracking AF or a fast burst speed, but honestly, despite all the nonsense you hear on the forum, very few people expect those things from a camera, or would use it if they had it. She's taken lots of action shots of our dogs using a K-5, and the IQ is still top notch.
