Thanks for the link, Bill. I, too, am surprised that the K-3 does slightly better in the ISO department. Frankly, even at web resolution, the higher ISO images looked noiser to me. I am not surprised that there is a .7 EV deficit for the K-3 in the Dynamic Range department. I still think that 16MP is a "sweet spot" for APS-C - I only wish that they made a 16MP model that had the other K-3 innovations (and PRIME III) on it.
