Pentax K10D to K-30 or K-50. Is there much difference at base ISO?

Re: Pentax K10D to K-30 or K-50. Is there much difference at base ISO?

Thanks for those dynamic range charts, they are very insightful. I was surprised how quickly the dynamic range drops off as the iso goes up. I can see why the K10d struggles a little with skies. Recently I'd been shooting my brother paragliding and getting the exposure right was tough. If the sky looked good, he was underexposed and if I exposed for him I lost much of the sky detail. I would definately have had more keepers with the K-30 or a K5.

I think the K5ii/s are a little over my budget but maybe a used one is not.
