This issue has been taken care of in the wake of fw. v.1.15 . I'm 95% sure K-5 can now AF @ -3EV. Because v.1.15 is fresh-off-the-oven we will need to wait for some time to collect users' info in that matter. I have a feeling Ricoh did it because they're almost sold out of K-5II/IIs and there's still some substantial K-5 inventory left they want to quickly unload before unveiling new FF model (which surely will be very expensive and - due to fierce competition in FF area - not really worth dying for). But , again, it's just me...

There are night vision cameras you may want to try in super low light conditions. Some Sony models as I remember. Most folks who take pics don't do it under subdued lighting. It's like pixel peeping guys - kind of deviation... Of course, you're welcome to give it 500% magnification and count how many pixels are packed in 1/100 square inch area .Sort of "catch and release" fishing :)

I believe the only difference ( except that "air gapless lcd screen") is $250 missing from your credit card. I own K-5 and before I purchased it I spent one week evaluating K-5II and two days evaluating K-5IIs... and I realized that both were just sales/
marketing gimmick targeted at Pentax enthusiasts who expected "something new" after almost three years since K-5 unveiling.
