Poll: Do You Intend to Buy the K-5II or the K-5IIs?

The K-5II and IIs will be on sales in Japan on October 19 and the official initial (Japanese) selling prices are published.

So, I would like to see what's your buying intention of these new models. Are you intended to buy?

in fact, I just bought a K-5 two weeks ago when I discovered that the awaited new models won't be much better and the K-5 has just fallen to a good price!

I did too. My k7 is now a 2nd body/backup. The k5 is more than good enough. Loving the huge dr!
Very probably not. I might be willing to pay some for upgrade though.
Most likely not - although the IIs interests me a little bit - but I will only consider it if the price is significantly < $1000
I hope Pentax can offer an upgrade or trade-in for existing K5 owners. I would love to get my hands on the new AF system. That is the only, if any, gripe that I have with my K5.

You must be day dreaming then! :-) The K-r has an in-born latent defect for its AF system to front focus very seriously everytime when shot under tungsten but Pentax has never been able to provide any remedial solution for free or charged, nor a trade-in offer for the K-30, which supposed to have been debugged, for instance!
I know.... I can only dream.... AF dream... FF dream... MF dream...
The most of the K-5 owners (me including) will just wait for reviews and make their decision depending on that. "On paper", there are two significant improvements (new AF and no AA filter in "s" version).

If reviews shows that these changes are significant improvements, then sooner or later I will change to K-5 IIs (when price drops to reasonable level).
No, too early - I probably will buy another Pentax body in addition to my K-5, but not yet. Probably will buy the 300mm/4 first..
what is the difference between a user and an "existing user"?
