Increases in sensor technology should allow for better higher ISO noise even with higher pixel counts. The 16mp K-5 sensor had about 3 stops better performance over previous less MP sensors.
this is generally true, especially in the case of your example. But expectedly the K-3 will get the sensor of the Sony SLT Alpha 77. That sensor is noisier than the K-5's one by the mesurements of the DxO Labs.Increases in sensor technology should allow for better higher ISO noise even with higher pixel counts.

Sony SLT Alpha 77 is the 46th with value 801 ISO on the list while Pentax K-5 is the 20th with 1162 ISO. The list contains data of 168 cameras.
Here you can check it yourself too:

Methinks the K-5N will be better choice for low-light photography because that will have an improved 16MP sensor with the same SAFOX X system that the K-3 will have if the rumors are true.
As I see you have really hairy legs. This is a great capture, it's razor sharp.

I read it in a question on Thomas Shahan's site but I've never seen it in the real life how it's happen.
I've never used this technique in my macro shots.

The X series are bridge cameras like X90 or X70. Those have 4.6-119.6/110.4mm zoom range that is similar to the range of this camera.Do you reckon that the lens is fixed or interchangeable? ...

You're welcome. I'm glad that I could help you.

... As that implies many of Pentax's lenses would be unsuitable for a sensor with that amount of resolving power and hence I believe I'm right in saying that a Pentax FF of 22-24mp would be almost perfect in terms of extracting the most from Pentax's existing FF lenses.
Regarding the Sony-Pentax agreement the next Pentax camera will be a 24MP APS-C camera IMHO. The new Pentax camera will get the 24,3MP sensor that is used at the Sony A77....

I feel more important question that when will be usable a faster/more precise AF in my Pentax that works well even at low lights?

The built-in image crop would be acceptable by me at 36MP resolution at least. Then the resolution would be 16MP using DA* lenses and the switching wouldn't be a step backward.
