When comparing different brands and models of cameras, it is often misleading to look at a bunch of sample images and compare them to each other, especially when doing big crops to look for sharpness. You must take into consideration the lens being used. Sometimes an article comparing models shoots each with the same lens, but looking at images from various sources will obviously have various lenses at play. Many reviews will shoot cameras with the kit lens.

Other factors also affect sharpness when pixel peeking. Using the dpreview test shots for any camera you mention, I can provide crops that will show the K50 to be sharper... if I choose just the right spot on the image to crop.

At some point, this all becomes a bit like trying to decide which supermodel to date.

I'll say it one more time. IMHO, you should invest this much thought and worry into the lenses you are going to start with more than the camera body, being that sharpness seems to be your big issue.

I knew that, but new sensors such as 16MP or 24 MP are better than old ones 12MP for higher ISO (3200 and more) and also has better resolutions.
