K-5 II
B&H has the Pentax K-5 II for $1,096.95 now (it was $1,196.95 yesterday). It’s $1069.87 at Amazon.com right now, but it’s out of stock and only available through third-party retailers on Amazon at the moment. I’m not sure if this a permanent or temporary price drop, but you can get it at the deal price and it’s in stock here at B&H Photo.

I haven’t really used a K-mount camera that much since my old Ricoh KR-5 Super II that I used religiously a couple decades ago as my first SLR camera. As a result, my exposure to Pentax gear is generally limited to what I see at trade shows. Stepping aside . . . ain’t it a bit ironic that Ricoh now owns Pentax when it previously used Pentax’s K-mount to make K1000 clones like the KR-5 Super II?
With that nostalgia out of the way, I took a closer look at the new Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs at the Pentax booth at PhotoPlus 2012. At first blush, I love the way the camera feels in the hand, along with a very intuitive control and menu scheme. [click to continue…]
