My take on it is the K5 can't be Pentax's top-of-the-line model unless there's actually a "line" for it to be on top of. The K-50 & K-500 serve that purpose.
Yes, I *AM* a cynical old man. On 8/27/2013 1:29 PM, John wrote:
Oh my, I am now really confused. There are k-5, k-50, and k-500 models. Plus there is now a K-5 II. The II is probably what is causing the price drops I have seen on the K-5. All appear to be an upgrade from my DS. What experience have people had with these cameras. Are any or all upgrades from my DS? (Of course they are, but at what cost?) What features am I giving up that I would miss beyond comprehension if I purchased a particular camera model. Meanwhile, my beloved DS keeps grinding out pictures even though they are not full frame and ????? pixel pictures. Seriously, are there any reviews of these models that you really trust.....or distrust? Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and advice. And I thought purchasing the DS was a hard decision. I do have a couple of film cameras if anyone is interested. Respooling B&W film is not all that bad! John G.
