For me, regarding 'noise' the k3 was not even as good as the k5 so i swapped mine for a KP and i'm so glad i did, it's much better at high ISO than both the K3 and the K5.
I must admit though, i did like the 2 card slots on the K3 but i just use a 32gb card now instead so no big deal.
But do you see an advantage (less noise) already from ISO 800?
What do you consider for high iso (start Iso 800 or 1600)?
Thank you

This site https://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/COMPS01.HTM shows images taken at a range of ISOs for comparison purposes.
My own thought is to limit the higher ISOs when possible too, but if you need a higher ISO to get the shot then do so. Might be better to increase the ISO than suffer camera shake or to get sufficient depth of field. I'd hope both cameras would be fine up to 3200 (and beyond) in any event.
If noise is your major concern, look to get a K-5 or a K-1 which have a lower pixel density hence less noise. (Or even a 645D.)

I've an Pentax K-3 and usually I shot to max Iso800 to limit the luminance noise.
I ask to the Pentax KP and K-3 (both) owners if the Pentax KP at ISO 800/1600 has less noise respect/than K-3.
Many thanks to the community.

I too have 2 k5's but still wouldn't part with my Kx, such a cracking little camera that produces excellent quality images!
This is a bargain!
I need of an cheaper second Pentax camera body because I have already an Pentax K-5II.
Thanks
