Upgrade K10D to K5IIs?

yep, people will tell you that at a technical level, the cmos sensor can be adjusted in-camera to produce the same output as the ccd sensor. and maybe thats right. but in my experience, i'd classify the K10 as an excellent "mood" camera. it seems to produce warmer tones and a "vibe" that i haven't managed to get from my k5. it sounds really air-fairy, and maybe it's all in our heads, but there's something about that sensor that imparts a less clinical feel to some shots, and in some situations.

It's probably crazy, but for the price i'd get for it, there's no chance i'll ever part with the k10 (in fact, at times i've considered trying to get a low-usage k10 to "future proof" in case mine dies). but i'll happily upgrade the 5 when the time suits.

fwiw, the k3 output in terms of rendering and "mood", to me, seems a little more like the k10 than the k5 series did. which probably puts paid to my old theory that maybe 10-meg was ideal for an aps-c size sensor, lol. again, its all just "gut feel" and there's nothing empirical about any of this.

The k5 series is a brilliant camera and will make you very happy.

Get the iiS for sure. Absolutely, you'll love it. But don't get rid of the K10 if you don't have too. Its a great sensor that renders beautifully and uniquely as long as iso is kept under control.
