I'm gonna go against the grain here......Don't end up second guessing yourself or wondering if you did the right thing. Just get the K1 and be done with it.
The K1 excels in low light, low light focusing, and in a bundle of advanced features that are very usable. If you want to shoot wildlife on a very dark and rainy day, you'd better have a camera that will focus in near dark and will deliver you a usable shot. The K1 can do this with ease. Fast focus in the dark woods..or anywhere else.....usable shots high up the ISO scale....it all matters.:)
All the other things matter too...but these two often matter the most in tough situations. The K1 is not talk, it's not hype, it's the real deal we have all been hoping for all these years. Just get it! :D

The Crop Mode is wonderful...it frames exactly what you will get and lights up the big red frame when focus is acquired and you have your shot......just like what you saw. Sure....the K3 has more pixels in a crop......but unless you print billboards, what difference does it make posted here?
Just get the K1 and be happy...everyone I see with one is thrilled!:D
Best Regards!:)
