K-5 with improved AF: mileage diagnostics PENTAX K-5 II

PENTAX K-5 II (2012) is an update of the legendary K-5 with a single, but critical change: a redesigned SAFOX X phase detection autofocus system with improved low-light performance. Retaining all the best features of the K-5 - the same sensor with fantastic dynamic range, 77-point weather sealing, -10°C operation and 7 fps - the K-5 II has become even more attractive to nature and reportage photographers who shoot in any conditions.

Improved low-light AF is a direct invitation to night photography, concerts and harsh backlit conditions. Such an audience films a lot and intensively. The waterproof body of the K-5 II looks durable, but the shutter counter is the only source of truth about the actual load.

Same resource, better features

The K-5 II shutter is identical to the K-5 with a lifespan of 100,000 guaranteed operations. Better low-light AF often led to more use of the camera at night - and therefore faster mileage accumulation. The optimal figure for purchasing is up to 50 thousand.
