Originally posted by SSGGeezer The KP is a great deal of late and has very good low light performance and other features that are an improvement over the K--70 mentioned above. I love my K-1 (Original mark,) but for low light I grab my KP.
refurb on Ricoh's site for less than 550, or used here for a similar number. Good luck whatever you decide.
Ergonomics is the only reason I gave up on my KP. Otherwise it was a great camera, but FWIW the low-light performance of the K-70 is just as good in practice, and stabilization is nearly identical at 4.5 and 5 stops. No one would be able to see any difference whatsoever in the photos between the two without looking at EXIF.
