If only resolution was entirely defined by the number of pixels - even assuming that the lens resolution exceeds that of the sensor. Small pixels also bleed into adjacent pixels so that actual resolution is reduced and the K3 sensor has a smaller centre-centre distance for its pixels than the K-1. This is also why istD 6MP cameras still produce exceptional results with there big pixels and low pixel bleed. I won't debate which is better, but you do need to consider actual measured resolution not just counting pixels. And that leads to the question of what lens you are using because unless you hare investing in DA*/FA* lenses that may well be the limiting factor - after all lens resolution comparison tests are done using a 12 or 16MP camera so that obviously isn't the limiting factor.
