This was an upgrade for me from the K-7. I find the auto focus to be largely improved as well as the noise! No more grain, even at ISO1600. Best of all, the battery grip from the K-7 still works perfectly well.

I love this camera. i went from the k10d to this and the difference is stunning. my pictures look amazing, and I love all the bells and whistles the camera has. this combined with my limited lenses is unmatched by anything in its class.

Great DSLR provides everything I need. Even thought it is not a FF DSLR, it works great. I love it.

The ergonomics are great, and the camera is responsive. It's a great camera for beginners and advanced shooters.

I upgraded from a Pentax K-200D+18-55mm DA 2 to the K-5II with the 18-135mm WR lens. The K-5 has much better low light capability, and shoooting at ISO 800 is great, and even higher ISO is still very good. Low light focus capability is also great, and the shutter is pleasingly quiet. Handling of the K-5II+135WR is excellent - solid but not heavy, and the combination fells very well balanced. The build quality of camera and lens are both great. Pentax appears to be more well constructed than the Canon and Nikon models I have looked at. Video quality is good, but I have dedicated HD video camera, and use the video in my DSLR only in a pinch. The Pentax 18-135 WR is a very good lens, very sharp in the center but getting a little soft in the corners. The lens is much quieter that the screw drive lenses that make up the rest of my Pentax gear. It is a great all around lens (especially with body and lens being weather sealed), though no replacement for the Pentax primes with regards to IQ. My only other nit on the lens is that the zoom is not quite fluid enough for video - it is dificult to zooom smoothly and slowly.

Built like a tank, but small and not too heavy. Great weather sealing. LCD screen is terrific, photos are in-focus. Lots of customization available including lens distortion, chromatic aberration, HDR, and more. Great raw photos.

I have to say that the white balance of this camera is terrible, object will be subject to 'green' when using the auto white balance settings
