+ Fully weather-sealed
+ Sharp, detailed images with very good dynamic range
+ In-body image stabilization

Pentax´s flagship enthusiast DSLR might not differ radically from its predecessor, but that´s not necessarily a bad thing. The Pentax K-5 II replaces a camera that was very well-received, and makes a worthwhile improvement in low-light autofocus. It also switches to a more attractive and durable LCD monitor. Unfortunately, the movie mode is still very dated, and the new autofocus system is a little slower than the one it replaces. Still, the K-5 II packs in a lot of features into a solid, weather-sealed, and very customizable body.
