Well, I'd hope they have much in common. Still, there should be some diff at sensor level, or DXOMARK wouldn't give them diff rankings (82 vs. 72).
I do agree with your point, Paul. The K-5 advantage will most probably be noticed only in more extreme situations. Still, I suspect there will some moments where it will be decisive. Not that I expect to be in one of those situations anytime soon... :-( Luiz Felipe luiz.felipe at techmit.com.br http://www.techmit.com.br/luizfelipe quick history::: On Jan 9, 2011, at 10:20 AM, Luiz Felipe wrote: > Boris, do accept the offer - I just can't wait to see the K-5 at work in > those same conditions...

The advantages lie elsewhere, probably in exposure accuracy, autofocus, resolution, weatherproofing, and perhaps dynamic range. I don't think you'll see much difference in a comparison of web-sized images.
