Which crop sensor camera should I consider?

I'd get a KP for about $700 which will be less than the K-3ii replacement and offer 90% of what the replacement. whenever it may be coming, will offer...DSLR's are reaching their zenith at this point--sure, a little faster focus, etc. but the KP has the accelerator allowing for 819,000 ISO...is it useable? I've never wasted my time trying it. But it has proven to have useable images to 25k and the small fill in flash covers the rest in a pinch.

I agree with 'Slyfox": if you wait for new technology while having a present need, you'll be waiting a long time instead of upgrading to what you can use now. Image quality has priven better on the KP and having used both, I agree....

Congrats...like I said...it has a high IQ, like a mini K-1 when you need an extra body or walk about.

Terry: I currently own the KP, K-3ii, K-5ii and the K-S2, and I really love the results of the KP. The only disappoint for me is that it's only rated to 100,000 clicks vs. the K-3ii at 200k of even the K-1 at 300K. That puts it in the K-5ii category for shutter durability. Nonetheless, Adam, Norm and others here are correct about the IQ: there is a discernible difference in the results and image quality between the KP and the K-3ii. I have the battery grip on the K-3ii, but chose not to buy the KP version as of yet because it's nice to have a small walkabout body and/or a back-up for the K-1 if you're on a shoot.

Please post some pics so we can see how you're working the KP.
