I have an example of how amazingly low shadow noise is on the K-5 in my review:

I confess I’ve never really done A-B comparisons. But here are some
pictures that couldn’t have been taken on any camera I’ve owned prior
to the K-5:

I don't have any exact side by side comparisons, but if you go to:

you can see pictures taken in similar situations with different cameras. In
order to fully appreciate them, you'll need to use the fluidr interface for
Hello Tim, can you please explain the HUGE, BIG Difference in Improved
Low Light Performance you got from your K-5 vs the K20D for the same
photo situation by showing us some examples in terms of ISO, f-stop,
shutter speed etc or photos.

You won't notice any difference in noise between the K5 and K20D at ISO 200 in
flat light. But when I have to use fill in conversion or brighten shadows with
dodging, I find that those actions will generate significant noise in the K20
or K7 image but not in the K5 pic. And the few extra megapix
Assuming perfect lenses it doesn't improve that much. I can say right
now my lenses and the K20D sensor are better than my technique will show.

I'm not surprised the resolution difference is minimal and all but
disappears when you compare linear resolution. The place the K-5 shines
is in high ISO low light shooting as far as IQ is concerned. Studio
shooting with plenty of light you might as well stick with the K20D.
There are only r
I moved to a K-5 from a K20 and the big difference - for me, huge -
was the improved low-light performance. For someone like me who finds
not plans pictures, and who hates flashes anyhow, it really is a big
deal. -T
