Hi Folks,

I have two K-50s and really enjoy them.

However, I always find myself wanting the newest thing out and the K-70 has certainly caught my eye. I've got one in the cart at Amazon but can't bring myself to hit the buy button.

Have any of you upgraded to the K-70 from the K-50? Are there improvements you've noticed other than the video and the flippy LCD? I'm especially wondering if the removal of the AA filter has noticeably increased sharpness, or if that improvement is mostly theoretical.

All input welcome!

It has 14-bit raw and complete feature set of PLM KAF4 lenses. I think Ricoh plans to release more KAF4 PLM lenses in the future.

On the other hand, what will the next iteration of the aps/c flagship carry? Isn't Photokina coming up? I know, Ricoh never seems to announce much at the conference. Perhaps shortly after.
