Originally posted by Fenwoodian I've often wondered just how the K-5IIs compares with the K-3II in terms of image quality. Care to share your thinking of this?
For a short time I had both the K-5IIs and the K-3II. Sold the K-5IIs eventually. My initial reaction was that the K-5IIs produced better images than the K-3II. I remember a number of people complaining at about that time that they were disappointed with the K-3II image quality.
What I discovered was that I was using the same import develop settings on the K-3II that I had used on the K-5IIs. Once I realized that and went back to square one development wise the image quality of the K-3II surpassed the K-5IIs and I sold it.
Just my opinion from my experience but I found a lot more latitude in the K-3II images and found I preferred them over the K-5IIs, when they were developed correctly.
