Have narrowed it down to the K1-ii and S5.

Weight and kit lens are in S5 favor..
Wondering what I would gain from K1ii

Primary use in priority

  • Compact, travel needs, has to be FF
  • DR, mostly do landscapes
  • IBIS
  • Occasional portraits indoors

Id recommend the original K-1 as a excellent landscape camera,the 28-105 punches above its weight.Add the new 21mm,thats plenty wide for landscape.It costs  too.

Theres also he weight of the Pentax to consider and its not compact.

As far as the Pano is concerned, its only 24mp compared to 36.

Its M/L so theres adapters that open up different system lenses as well.For instance Sigma do an EF to L adapters theres tons of Canon/sigma/Tamron glass available as you expand later on.
