I think another big difference will be the 12 v. 14 bit/channel RAW--I suspect those extra bits in the K-5 are where the great DR lives.
that concerns me too, but somehow dxomark rates the dynamic range of the K 01 12.9 Evs vs 14.1 Evs for K-5 — just over a stop of difference rather than the two stops that the data path would support, but still a significant difference
(it would seem odd that 12 bits can support almost 13 stops of dynamic range; i suspect that some sort of dynamic range compression is used, or that i don't understand dxomark's measurement system)
since the K 01 is also 12 bits/channel, one could expect the K-30 to perform similarly
