As they say size does make a difference!
All depends on the size/weight of the lens you're using and what you're
shooting.
Try hand hold a 300mm lens while tracking a caribou for a few minutes!

I don't know about you, but over 1/200 I can rarely see much
difference in hand held vs tripod and I am certainly capable of sharp
pictures down to even 1/8s hand held with wide angle lenses. I have a
few 1/4s pictures that I have kept even that were very sharp. If I
have the slightest hint of camera shake, I tend not to keep the image.
That's just me though. The moire on the K-5 IIs is troubling to me. At
the apertures I shoot at, the gains in resolution would mostly be
lost. Such is life.

You won't see evidence of the K-5IIs improvement over the K-5II in more

90% of handheld shots, as you don't have everything else in the quality
chain up to the task.
On the other hand, you'll have evidence of the K-5IIs improvement over
the
K-5 (older model) in say 90% of shots in artificial light.
For some reason, the K-5IIs seems to manage noise a bit better than the
K-5II (and K-5) too. At least, the two K-5IIs bodies I had the chance to
try
did so.

Funny, as I thought of the 16MP sensor in the K-5IIs as the second
most important reason to upgrade from the K-5 (the first one being
of course the huge improvement in AF accuracy in odd light). 16MP is
already more than I need and I'm happy to delay any forced pixel
count increase as much as possible. That's a wonderful world, isn't
it?
The K-5 has the same sensor, doesn't it?
Yes, but without an anti-alias filter, which means a visible jump in
resolution & sharpness when everything else (lens quality, steadiness
& focus) is at best.
Missed that you were specifically talking about the IIs. Anyway, I took
both II and IIs on my Alaska cruise, will report whether I notice any
difference in sharpness (although there were essentially zero duplicate
shots taken with the same lens on both bodies).
