Re: Deciding between K1-ii and Panasonic S5 Thank you .. decided to wait

I've been looking at these camera's as well. First let me say I'm not a Pentax user. I have Fuji, Oly and Sigma dp merrill's. In my normal course of perusing gear on Flickr I got hooked by the K1 landscape and flower images. Playing with the K1's dynamic range in the raw file was mind blowing. While the S5 raw has a lot of DR range I did not think the overall image competed with the K1. Anyways, leaning towards the K1 or mark II.

Question I have is is there any reason to grab the K1 over the mark II? DPreview made a big deal about the loss of detail due to the noise filter in the mark 2. Is it really that noticeable? Original K1's are hard to find now.
