Thanks. This is the most useful comparison for me because I have a k-x and I am interested in k-5.
Is it possible for you to upload the raw files for k-x and k-5, for ISO 1600 and above?
I just want to push the two files through my regular workflow - Aperture, and check if there is a big difference in the outcome.
There is obviously a lot of excitement over the IQ of high ISO shots in other threads. But I have a feeling that many of these guys ignored the k-x because it's entry level, and so their feeling on 'how big a step K5 is over k-7/k20d' may be overstated a bit.
Obviously most of them shoot in extreme weather conditions and often in life threatening emergencies where an extra press of a button to change ISO is the difference between survival and destruction. I, on the other hand, don't mind that too much. But, I am quite interested to see if K-5 can make 1 or 2 stop difference over k-x. That will mean a lot. Most of my indoor shots are in dim light - 1600 and 3200 is a common scenario.
cheers,
