The K-70 is very usable up to ISO 12800, whereas the K-50 reaches it's extreme useable limit at the same ISO. I really try to not shoot past ISO 6400 on my K-50, but I'd have no problem shooting up to ISO 12800 all the time on the K-70.

Thanks SM,

Interesting comments,....as I said in my original post, I have several m43 cameras that I enjoy. They are feature packed and take excellent video. My K-50 does better at high ISO, allowing me to do a lot of shooting at 1/1000th and F8, settings I find very forgiving and allowing me to "get the shot".

My K-50 also takes heavy cropping a little better than the m43s.

Thanks to all who have responded to this thread. I'm hoping to get a little more positive feedback on the video. I'm looking for something to grab occasional video memories with, good AF, color, sound etc., not looking for anything professional.

I'm very happy with IQ on my K-50, so any IQ improvement would be a bonus.
