I do not think it means what you think it means...
Then be explicit, show examples and explain how sensor A is different than sensor B in rendering and explain how:
- This is not part producted by the lense that affect the OOF transition, bokeh and colors, contrast.
- This is not the Manufacturer settings to give a different JPEG type
- This is not the post processing that change the colors, contrast, sharpness, film grain, vigneting etc.
All I have seen from different sensor:
- Some have different resolution than other, allowing for higher resolution print.
- Some are blurer than others through the low pass filter to reduce moire.
- Some have different size than other. This affect the dof and rendering. Typically larger sensors have more color deph, participate in in focus/out of focus why to render things (as is the lense).
- Some have issues to really get the light of fast lenses, in particular with old design and on border due to the way light rays hit the photosites.
- Some produce better color deph lower noise and more dynamic range than other.
- Some use really different technnology like foveron or EXR.
Here we were speaking of Sensor A of Sony technology with CMOS on APSC with 20MP and Sensor B of Sony technology with CMOS on APSC but 24MP. Both are same generation of sensors. We know the 20MP is limited by design in dynamic range as being entry level sensor.
So yes I have difficulties to understand how the K-S1 must have special rendering that K-3 might not have and that you think K-S2 must have without even knowing if they didn't review the sensor a bit (new version of it with a few differences).
For me without explanation, characterisation of the difference, some example to backup doesn't look like something I could relyiably take into consideration when choosing a camera. From what you said that could be the default JEPG setting or the kit lense sample bundled with you K-S1, or maybe that your previous body was a CCD anyway and few years old so something where it more understandable you see a difference...
Anyway this is far from being clear here.
