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 to note that the K-5IIs actually beats it for fine rez, and looks cleaner at 6400 ISO.
