Well, I just dialed in K-5 vs K-7 versus Pana GH2. K-7 is rubbish if one
is to take the numbers and indexes and ratings at their immediate value.
K-5 appears to have 3.5 EV dynamic range advantage over K-7...
Another interesting thought crossed my mind. Pentax is known for its
lens making. On other hand, the sensor of K-5 is not developed by
Pentax. I am thinking more in lines of somewhat tweaked sensor that Sony
produced as per Pentax specifications. It also seems to me that DxO is
comparing the combination of the sensor as a piece of specially
processed silicon and all the electronics around it. Pentax appears to
gradually build up their expertise in electronics side of the equation
and now they have a great sensor (as per DxO sense of the word
"sensor"). This is very interesting even though pretty trivial
observation - Pentax has dramatically improved its electronics...

What I will admit to is comparing the K-5 to the Nikon D300s and Canon 7D:
