Blue Tit K3 v K5
Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

Currently on a Pentax hiatus until an FF Pentax is released
expected because both shots have lost a lot of pixels.
It might be worth cropping to about half K-5 size (2500x1667)
and then reducing both to about 1000w.... possibly flipping one
to make the bird face the same way and then comparing.

Have you found other K3 shots to be more saturated than the K5. It's not necessarily a problem, just my observation.

On 2nd thoughts that wouldn't work They would be
different sized birds. So crops keeping the bird the same
size in the screen print would be needed.

I think (or maybe I imagine) that the K-3 image shows a little more fine detail, but the only way of letting people compare the cameras is to put the DNGs online somewhere.
Pentax K-3, DA18-135, DA35 F2.4, DA17-70, DA55-300, FA28-200, A50 F1.7, A100 F4 Macro, A400 F5.6, Sigma 10-20 EXDC, 50-500 F4.5-6.3 APO DG OS Samsung flash SEF-54PZF(x2)
.
They just happened to be two shots that had the same exposure settings in TAV. Which I thought some might find interesting
Here they are together

better on the K-3, but white feathers aren't a very good indicator
because they rely on shadows to pick them out.
I think I can hold onto my K-5 for another year or so.

Neither are cropped. I processed the RAW K3 shot in LR and then copied and pasted the processing steps to the RAW K5 version
