Pentax Ricoh has announced its latest flagship DSLRs – the K-5 II and K-5 IIs. The ‘s’ version, which costs $100 more, comes without an anti-aliasing filter, to offer higher resolution at the risk of more prominent moiré interference patterns. Both cameras feature 16MP sensors and the weather-sealed magnesium alloy build of the original K-5.
