The K-5 is better in all respects, and the K-3 better in all respects than the K-5.

Except for the button layout on the back. The K-3's review button is on the left, requiring your left hand to use. They moved it to make room for the LV button, but that one seems oddly placed and out of reach. The K-3's a slightly better camera, but the K-5 series is better to use.

Just wondering, what is the problem of the review-button on the left? Myself, I find it an advantage to have it on the left, or at least not near other shooting-buttons, so I can't hit the play-button by accident during shooting.

Besides, on a camera without EVF, you'd probably take the cam away from your face when reviewing images...?
