We have them in the office here for testing. So far my impressions are very favorable. They're really just the K-5 with a) better low-light/artificial-light AF (much better), and b) no AA filter (on the IIs). Not much else to say about them.

Fantastic camera.
Which lenses are your favorites for it?
The DXO mark results look good. The removal of the anti-aliasing filter in the s version, ergonomics, 100% viewfinder and weather sealing have me interested.
I've had my K-5IIs for a few weeks and about 1,400 frames, replacing the K-5 I've had for a couple years. The AF is much improved, now capable of focusing at midnight in a coal mine, more or less.
What most interested me was the removal of the AA filter. And, yes, it's deadly sharp now, though as with that other new AA-less body, you really have to use good lenses and, especially, technique to see the difference. I make 20x30 landscape prints, and the difference shows.

I sold a lot of lenses of last year, Limited's & DA*'s mostly. I now use the lenses with my IIs, two Zeiss ZK's, the 50km MP and the 25mm Distagon, those with the 100mm WR have me in lens nirvana with that camera.
