What dpreview should do is overhaul it's rating system. Now it looks as if the K5-ii is worse than the K5, which is definately not the case. Why not use a score that's continuously increasing like...

@Jimmy jang Boo:
not in raw, there the sony is humilliated by the pentax

Some split image focusing screen affect the autofocus functioning of your camera. Make sure you get one that's been tried by others.

Pentax said they're working on it...search this forum:P

Urk... oh my:)K5II does 849,- and K5IIs 1199,- Now thats 350 euro difference, odd...

I thought it was best to call them... You'd get the DA* zooms at nearly half the online advertised price or did they change that?

Do you know that you can get the 50-135 for $824 from B&H? If you order by phone that's the price you're gonna pay... The $1500 on their website is the new Pentax USA online-pricing policy in effect.

Plastic-fantastic and not-so-fantastic weathersealing...eww!

you're right, nex-5n is worse when: you want a good viewfinder, shoot raw, in the rain, in heat, in cold, want a decent lens, etc. Also: lenses are bigger than body= lousy weightdistribution, no...

I love the double shadows.

Some Pentax bigshot already said they're working on a FF Pentax and lenses.check links:http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3282680http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3281280

Thanks mate! Are these shot in raw?

I don't think iPhoto supports K-5 IIs yet. There's lists out there telling what camera's are supported as of yet. Google for iphoto + camera raw + your OS (eg Lion, Snow Leopard) and you'll find...

They use the Sigma 70/2.8 macro. Thing is, they use in body JPEG with different noise reduction settings, so the thing isn't a valid comparometer.

ROFLMuwahahaha there he is again, Mr. JPEG Sonyfanboytroll. You're almost the funniest forum member...ever. I wanted to put you on ignore, but you're just too funny! Keep plussing your own...

I tried the Sony first and liked it, till I tried the others and started comparing. The Sony is noisier, has less contrast, the colors aren't accurate, less bright, lagged more.

Actually, a new one is $824 (incl shipping) from B&H if you call them. Plus you'll get the warranty...

Image quality is probably better on the K-30. The NEX-6 hasn't been tested yet, but every Sony cam has been disappointing in IQ compared to equivalent Pentax cameras. But these days you really...

What did you find attractive about the D600? For me it would only be the larger OVF, and maybe the autofocus, but I'd miss the ruggedness of Pentax K-5/K-7.  Saw a guy on a forum opening his d7000,...

The Tamron 17-50 2.8 without VC is optically a very good lens (the one with VC is not as good). Check this review:...
