Well, the poster commented that the difference in sharpness is negligible in his opinion. Besides, I found that the colour rendition of the K-5 is better, once again! The K-5IIs shot is somehow greyish for the blue.

I like the colour rendition of the old K-5's LCD monitor better. It looks more faithful and detailed than the new air-gapless LCD. In particular, just view the heavy blue cast of the white sky of the air-gapless mon. and that the green colours do look odd and unnatural. But yet, the outdoor visibility in the field is not differed by that much against what is officially claimed!
After all, it is really not good to run bare, for both the sensor and the LCD! :-o ;-p

And judging LCD monitor color by looking at those pictures... Priceless...:P

The left one looks like it's been set to "Landscape" ;)
Perhaps the image was intended only to show the lower reflection...

Actually, you need not to prove any body else is wrong, what you really need to do is to prove the things you claimed, but you never!

Rice all your recent posts are "against" K5-IIs. It is your decision not to like it (or like). But you are biased so much that it is worth nothing.
If you have K-5 and you are happy with it don't buy another camera. You will have some more money - no pressure! Have a fun K-5 is still great!

Besides, I don't think the cast and unnatural colour rendition could be corrected, as possibly the layer of near-UV (blue colour spectrum) band filter that is normally placed above the primitive LCD is omitted and thus caused the problem.

And one more thing - it's just a JPG representation, so we need to check how actual JPG output looks like and see if it's similar. For RAW shooters it means nothing at all, cause they use a rear LCD just to check the overall composition, not the white balance, contrast or color.

Saturation etc. might be adjusted in the menu or perhaps through a firmware update...
