I recently purchased (and have yet to receive) the S5 with the 20-60 kit lens and the 85 f/1.8 lens. I wasn't really considering the K1ii since I was primarily interested in the more compact FF mirrorless systems. I've been into Pentax systems for a long time though. The S5 is pretty close to the size of my K-5 but it's full-frame which is something I was hoping to get into at some point. I'm one of those that used to want a digital back for my K1000. I started investigating that K1ii just a little bit out of curiosity. So far I think there's only one feature I wish the S5 had and that is the Astrotracer. I don't get to do a lot of astrophotography but for those rare occasions it would be a nice feature to have.

Same thoughts here, the body size of K5ii and S5 and is FF, also like the range of 20-60.
I also did some comp on imaging-res and the S5 show a lot of fine details at the same isos ..compared to the competetion
