Yep, I'm very happy with the K-1, but it's not as if there's anything magical about the 35mm format. I think the K-1 simply is a better camera than the K-3 is, just as the K-3 is better than the K-5. The difference between APS-C and 35mm isn't really that big.

Pros (coming from a K-5 and K-3):
* Bigger viewfinder!
* Wider wide-angles (the FA31 finally makes sense)
* Better low-light performance
* Wider dynamic range
* Pull-out screen (I like using it as a waist-level finder)

Cons:
* Heavier (yes, it does matter when carrying it for hours in-hand)
* Needs bigger lenses to get the same tele reach - adding even more weight
* Bigger image files eat more storage and CPU
* Less info on the top LCD than the K-3 has
* "Only" 4.4 fps (but faster in crop mode)
* There are no DFA Limiteds
