Most of the improvements to the K-5 in the II and IIs were in the auto
focus system. The rear screen is a nice improvement, and there were a
few other improvements to the K-5 in the II, but honestly, if you're
using the K-7, the K-5 imaging sensor is a huge step up. Everything
else is just gravy. I'd say it's worth it. keh.com has one in LN- for
just a bit more than a K50 sells for new.

Hi, troops. As you can see, my beloved K-7 is about to bit the dust.
It's become a little reluctant to change shutter speeds, and I'm not
sure what shutter speed it's ever on any more. I have used and abused
it for years, and now it's tired and wants to go home.
I can maybe afford,if a client comes through, a used K5, and here's my
question: is it worth getting. I know there have been upgrades to it,
but it seems to have gotten decent reviews whe it came out.
My other option is to spend a bit more and upgrade my Fuji X100 to the
X100S, but that would put me out of the Pentax game. I'd like to stick
around, maybe, if the K5 is worth it.
What say you?
