Am I crazy for still wanting the K-S2?

The camera was released about 2 years ago and the K-70 is out for a couple of months bringing what we thought high end specs (pixel shift) to enthusiast level. Something similar when we learned that the K-S2 also has AA filter simulations.

I just sold my K-5ii's and now I am about to let go my K-30... I am more inclined into smaller camera as I am now a member ot the #Dadlife,

On the lens department, I intend to keep only "trinity" 21/35/70. but a WR zoom is nice perhaps a 16-85 f3.5-5.6 and not the compact WR RE kit lens to cover everything.

What I am really frustrated with this K-XX model is their appalling battery (too small for enthusiast, imho)

Is my choice sensible?

I was very keen to buy the K-S2 but ended up getting the K-70. I did handle the K-S2 and really loved it.

I am now thinking of selling my K-5IIs too so, If you don't mind me asking, what are the K-5IIs worth on the markek? Mine has done less than 6000 photos.

Thank you and enjoy the K-S2 if you get one!

Regards,

Ben
