To sum up, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Pentax K-5 IIs to produce extra detail because of its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger K-5 IIs will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
