I see any significant issue in red saturated areas of the test image.
However what remains impressive is how little image quality

The resolution advantage is there in plain view. Focus on any fine
text. Eg: examine the red square area below the globe, with the poem.
Try it at ISO 100 first then switch back to 6400. The K-5IIs degrades
the least of al the samples.
I added the Canon 5DMkII in to the samples and was interested
I can see a marked difference if I select a D800 as one of the cameras
under compare otherwise the differences between the K5 variants are
academic at best IMO.

I was out in the front yard today, and looked at the cedar logs. The
deep red seen in this image has faded quite noticeably, as the log
dries out. It is still readily identifiable as red cedar, but the
intensity that made it so interesting to me just a few days ago has
disappeared.

I've solved the spectacle wearer's viewfinder use by knocking the lens out of a
pair of glasses. Allows me to get my eyeball close enough to see the entire
frame. The built in diopter on the K series DSLRs takes care of what I need
glasses for. The lens still attached is used for chimping.

To that end no DSLR system satisfies the above condition. Hence I am

You are quite right, Tim. However, I ended up purchasing the 31 Ltd

Yesterday my 5 1/2 month old K-5 rolled 5000 exposures, roughly double my usual

shoots kept it busy.
Another factor, though, is
