Upgrade path from K30 to K1: Worth the cost?

Norm,

If you use a 50mm lens on a K3 and a 75mm lens on a K3 you have the same field of view. The K3 has a 24 MP sensor and the K1 has a 36MP sensor. Is that not 50% more pixels recording the same scene?

Yes. If a K5, K3 or K1 are all covering the same field of view the K1 will have 50% more pixels to work with than the K3 and 100% more than the K5. When I started looking at the images from my K1 I was highly impressed with the image quality, (I was going to say blown away, but it is an overused term.) I still use my K3 with my K1 as it complements the K1 quite nicely in the field. My K5 and K5 IIs sit mostly unused. To me the K1 is the first digital camera that I have owned that makes me not long for films such as Kodachrome 25.
