    High end DSLR in mid tier price point
    8/26 update:I have this K-S2 for a few weeks now. Attached here are some recent pictures taken at the Cincinnati Zoo. All taken with K-S2 and Sigma 70-200 OS HSM. The camera has performed really well. AF is fast and accurate. Shutter is relatively soft and quiet. I took several hundreds shots in a day and the battery was still OK, my initial concern with battery capacity is eliminated. It is an incredibly capable camera. At the current low price, it is better than products from the other two major brands. Highly recommended.*********************************************************************************************************************************Original reviewThis is my latest Pentax addition. I bought it with the intention of replacing a K-01, which I am still keeping for now. My main camera is a K-5 IIs. I picked K-S2 over K-50 because it is almost a K-3 but w/ a 20 MP sensor. I don't need 24 MP but like the elimination of AA filter (like K-3 and K-5IIs) and the AA simulator just in case. For the price, I could easily pick up a K-3 but I prefer the smaller size for situations that are better served with smaller cameras. BTW, I also have a Olympus e-pm2 m43 system.Let me get the minor cons out of the way. I am used to the K-5 interface, so it takes a few days to get to know how to use K-S2 effectively. The front and back dials were a little stiff initially. It is easy to turn the on/off dial all the way to video. It does not take wired remote. The WIFI app still needs more work.Once I am properly oriented, I am rewarded with superb RAW images captured by the 20 MP sensor. Using the camera is now no different from K-5IIs. The shutter noise is slightly louder than K-5 series but quiet compared to many mid-tier competitions. It is significantly smaller than the K-5IIs such that I can fit it into my bag that is used for my m43 system. Since I already have a Pentax 18-135, I think this light weight WR combination will travel with me to many places that I may not want to carry my full system.The flip out LCD screen is just outstanding. Low angle shots are no longer a drag. Placing it on dirt ground for that special view is not a challenge anymore. Simply rinse it with water and it is clean again.
