I'm pretty sure it's the bus speed of the camera. Everything I've read
about it implies that the K-1 can only take advantage of a middling fast
card. I think the best high speed Pentax is the K-3 or K-3II maybe the
KP will clear it's buffer faster, or equal the K-3 with better
autofocus, but I'm not going to bet the farm it will the specifications
don't look all that promising.

I'd be happy if they would just do some sort of binning where they
added/averaged two or four pixels together, and gave me a lower
resolution mode that could keep up with the action. There may be
photographers that can photograph a swing jam where people are dancing
and showing off to 200 BPM music for 5-20 seconds each, trying to
catch a couple shots of each of the tricks the couples perform, and
not run out of buffer a third of the way through the song, but I'm not
a good enough psychic to know which of the things they do are going to
be the good shot soon enough before it happens to only take one keeper
shot of each couple and not overflow the buffer.
Part of that problem is probably the limitations of SD card transfer
speed. Or, maybe it's the bus speed in the camera, I don't know what
the bandwidth is, whether it can actually saturate the 80MbPS of my
cards.
I don't always need 36MP, but I often need to shoot a lot more action
without my camera freezing up. It's an amazing landscape camera,
unfortunately dancers don't tend to move at geological speeds.
