something is fishy. compare the k5 to the k5II
both set to iso200 and look at the face of the
wristwatch. the hour markers look completely
different and these two cameras are supposed to
have same image quality.

DPR has samples so you can do close-in comparison... here are the K-5,
the K-5 II, and K-5 IIs doing ISO6400 RAW.

The IIs may have big advantages, but they're sure not on display here.
Zero in on anything that has intense red saturation; I was surprised
by what I saw.

Having said that, I totally disapprove of pixel-peeping. Anyhow,
that's my story and I'm sticking to it. -T
