Originally posted by Surnia I've found that even the K50 has great response to underexposure, but over-exposure tends to not recover well. I've started to underexpose a bit more often for that reason.
I believe that this is the case with most sensors, in regards to blown highlights. I've also gotten into the habit of underexposing my photos from my K-30, knowing that it will still look good when I brighten it back up.
Sometimes when I'm shooting with my Panasonic LX100, which has an m43 sensor, I fall into the same routine, and then I get disappointed when the pictures end up being a little more noisy than I'm used to with my K-30. So with my LX100 I usually try to dial in a more exact exposure.
