My K-5 is doing fine as well, I like the colors and dynamic range.
All I wished it to have is a flipscreen.
And the possibility to use the PLM version of the 55-300, that I would like to have, but which won't be a good choice for  my K-1 either.

Yes, same as a K5. Surprised they didn't go for something like 24Mp. As you say, all the newer APS-C models have more Mp.

However, I must say I find the 16Mp of the K5 to be quite adequate.

Very nice bird pics!

On cropping: I recall a video of Northrup saying that a 36 MP FF sensor in crop mode results in 16 MP, so it is better to use a modern APS-C camera with a crop lens.

TLDR; my guess is that the 150-450 would do no worse, and in many situations would do better. To support that hypothesis, if the DA300 did a better job, Paul would use one of those.

As to camera bodies:  I don’t think the K-1 would give you any major advantage when birding, because you would be mostly shooting in crop mode.  It can be handy to see what is outside of the frame, but I’ve found that my K-3 is generally a somewhat better APS camera than my K-1.  It looks as if the pixel performance per sq mm of the K-3 iii will be significantly better than the K-1.  I certainly hope so with a 5 year newer sensor, and the overall image performance should still be better. It should be *much* better with several Moore’s cycles difference between the two.

To phrase Raoul Duke’s attorney, Dr. Gonzo, I’d advise you to start looking for a good deal on a used 150-450.
