Re: Deciding between K1-ii and Panasonic S5 - (please no MILC vs DSLR)

The first word you use is 'compact'. So for me in your head the choice has been made.

I owned the K1 and found the images it captured were simply wonderfull when used in its comfort zone. I have not had the opportunity to use or touch a Panasonic S5 but press articles are very positive.   Comparing the physical attributes of the two 'boxes' the S5 is a clear winner, especially weight, but there is a reason for that. It's clear that being able to hold any camera body when considering a purchase is vital, so I hope you can.

Unfortunately the perfect camera doesn't exist, even if you pay top prices for other brands. You will win and you will lose no matter which body you decide on.  As long as the pleasure is there.

Cheese...
