Re: The K-S2's beauty

I should add that I would really hate to let this camera go. I got the white model and I don't know how well the white coating will hold up over time, but right now it is stunning. If the 1 sec display really is defective and I send it back, I may get a black model next; which I thought I preferred but not any more.

I suspected the K-S1 would be rated at 50,000 clicks, but I would wager the K-S2 is rated for 100,000. The shutter sounds more robust and the camera build looks much superior. But does anyone know?

As I know, both cameras have identical guts. Don't underestimate the K-S1 because you got it cheap. Mine was cheap as well ($400 CAD ~ $300 USD for the body, kit lens and 16GB Flucard), BUT, when it was introduced 2 years ago, it cost at least twice more. So, they have the same shutter/mirror mechanism, the same sensor, just different exterior. And the PDAF unit might be improved in K-S2, as it has a different Safox designation.
