Thom Hogan asks an interesting question today (Feb 7, 2013)
you can't buy anything photographic ever that doesn't exist today. Do
you just stay with what you have, or do you shuffle your gear to a
different set? Why? If you can answer that question you start to see
where you think you need more
So I'm starting to work on the shots I took Saturday with John's K-5 and
the shots I've been taking with the K-x Larry's letting me borrow (thanks
Larry!), and I notice that the 12MP K-x has roughly 15MB DNG files, while
the 16MP K-5 has roughly 30MB DNGs. Does the K-5 really store that much
more
14 bits instead of 12 bits could be responsible for that.

Well, it's a combination of quite a lot of factors.
The namber of bits of uncompressed RAW data are:
K-x: 12MP x 12 bits/pixel = 18MB,
