So for the best of both worlds I could dump all my long lenses for Pentax and use that money to purchase a used Canon 1D Mark IV along with say a brand spanking new Canon EF 70-200 2.8L USM all for under $2,500. And keep the wide and portrait lenses for the K-3. Oh the possibilities
That all works out until the thing that happens to me all the time. I come with the K-3 looking for action , and the need for magnification, but I get a co-operative subject. I switch to the K-1 and get better IQ and DR than you can with any action type camera. ANd in the end those are the images I treasure.
That happens when I take the K-3 off the Tammy 300 2.8 and 1.7 because I'm too tight, and put the K-1 on. Two different systems takes that away from you if you have different brand lenses for landscape and action.
The way to get top action, is to buy an action camera, most of which don't go over 20 MP. But, with an integrated system, you have the opportunity to go for a high DR high resolution image if the opportunity presents itself.
Although with no Canon product in the same league as a K-1, using their full frames, they have one that surpasses a K-5. It's a conundrum.
