I don't think you'll find any image quality difference at high ISO, in fact the K5 may be better than the K-3 (II) in that regard
Did not know that... and good to learn but I rarely shoot above 400iso and it's usually for astrophotography. Knowing this I'll use my K5II for that purpose!

Just the first one.... K3...

The Autofocus is a massive improvement. It has far more options and accessing it is much better. It also seems to be be more accurate. I went out with my Sigma 150-500mm and it seemed to be quicker and more improved.

The way you access things - like multi exposure, timers, etc are much better.

The dual SD slot and the FluCard.

I do a large ammount of long exposure. The writing time to the card is fast. It is also great for continious shooting.

The images are fantastic. I haven't tried the AA simulator yet but I have read good things about it.

I also got one with about 2000 actuations for £300!

I have just gone from a K5II to a K3....

It's pretty much a quantum leap!
