Seems there will be a new Pentax camera a few days from now, on November 25.

Btw, where are you seeing that rumor?

Can totally recommend the older K-5 IIs. The K-70 is also very good... mine hasn't failed yet! But the K-5 IIs is an absolute winner, at a much lower used cost... only USD $313 on Amazon today, body only. God, Amazon says I bought mine in 2014. Time sure goes by. But it still works perfectly, no issues at all.

Yep, it's such a gem. Another thing I like about it is there are no external controls or buttons specifically dedicated to video. It's the last stills-centric DSLR from Pentax.
