So is the Fuji X-M1, released in 2013 IIRC.

Make a huge difference. The only fair comparison is between expert renderings
of each. A half dozen years ago I was shooting for Harris Publications with a
K5. The art directors marveled at how sharp and detailed my images were and
wanted to know what kind of camera I was using. I suspect the difference was in
the rendering— and the glass. I was shooting with the DA* 60-250 and DA* 16-50.
Both are superb lenses. Of course the K5 is now old technology.

At one time I would not have considered any equipment other than Pentax. A
little over two years ago I bought a Fuji X-Q1 compact to take with me on a
trip to Italy that was going to include a week on bicycles. I was impressed
with the images I got with it. Also never would have considered a camera—other
than a compact—without a view finder. I ended up getting myself a Fuji X-M1
mirrorless and a 28 mm lens. Since doing so I’ve become comfortable with not
having a viewfinder. The LCD screen gives me the same information I’d get in a
viewfinder. My only complaint is that it’s sometimes difficult to read the
screen in bright sunlight.
Yesterday I took my Pentax K-5 with the DA 4-5.6 50-200 zoom and the Fuji X-M1
with the 28mm lens with me to the graduation ceremony. I used the Pentax during
the ceremony to get shots of my subject from a distance and the Fuji for closer
range shots of her and her family interacting with others after the ceremony.
Not the first time I’ve noticed it, but I was just really impressed with the
difference in the images I got. Those from the Fuji are markedly sharper and
“livelier,” those from the Pentax duller in comparison.
Maybe I just don’t know how to use the Pentax?
