Originally posted by BryantCP I'd keep the K-3, since the K-1 in crop mode will be essentially the same resolution as the K-5 IIs. That said I have a K-5 & a K-3 and would probably keep both if I eventually get a K-1.
That is a valid point. K1 sensor has the same pixel density as that of K5.

Originally posted by Adam I would consider it a step forward in most situations (i.e. at low ISOs, or at night in difficult lighting), but a small step back at high ISOs just because of sensor noise.
If we enable high ISO noise reduction in K3 via the custom settings, will it match the IQ of K5 IIs?
That is something I never tried while comparing these two.
Edit:
I tried that test in low light and found no difference in IQ between the two. The slight difference I noticed was in favor of K3.
