I love it when I'm prescient. http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Pentax-K-3-versus-Pentax-K-5-IIs-versus-Pentax-K7___914_830_615
The K3 tests out at 13.4 stops of dynamic range, compared to the K5 at 14.1. By comparison, the K7 is 10.6. Interestingly, the K3 measures very slightly higher (effectively the same) at their high ISO measurement (highest ISO to maintain 30db of noise and 9 stops of DR).

I delayed this reply in hopes that DXO would do the K3 fairly soon, but it looks like this will not be the case. I am guessing that when they do test the K3, that it will turn in really close to the K5 at base ISO, I would think in the 13.5 range. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
