Regarding this point:Advantages of the Pentax K-5Faster autofocusPhase detectionvsContrast detectionCatch candid moments easily It's incorrect. K-5II has PDAF. Both cameras have both PDAF and CDAF. In fact, K-5II is supposed to have improved PDAF vs. K-5.

I had to laugh when they listed the "Common weaknesses" of both cameras. Since when was 16.1 megapixels considered "low resolution" and 109 lenses considered "few lenses"? Were those typos, or just the same Canikon trolls doing Pentax comparisons to justify their elevated prices and 90% market share? Funny.
