Compared to the slide film we all used to shoot, modern digital cameras have a huge range. I don't recall ever running out of latitude. (I grossly overexposed a white interior on a car shoot last summer when brain fade set in, but was easily able to retrieve detail in conversion.) I shot some ducks on a river that was offering some reflections of direct sunlight last weekend with the K-3 and didn't experience any difficulty. So far, it seems as forgiving as the K-5 in that regard.
