I can't say anything about the K-3 from personal experience, but K-5 DNG
files are about the same size as it's PEF files. The K20D however has a
sufficient file size difference to make shooting PEF a preferred option,
mostly to maximize the number of exposures per card. Disk storage has
become so inexpensive that I convert the K20D pefs to DNG to work with
them in Photoshop, and save both, just in case.

Thanks Brian -
Hard to teach an old dog new tricks - I've been shooting PEF's since
the K10 days, I believe, and never thought to check file size on the
newer bodies. I'll take a look as soon as I can.

The file size advantage of pef is not as significant as it was with
earlier models. On my K-5, there is little difference and I'd expect
the K-3 to be similar.
