I'm pretty sure it's the bus speed of the camera. Everything I've read about it implies that the K-1 can only take advantage of a middling fast card. I think the best high speed Pentax is the K-3 or K-3II maybe the KP will clear it's buffer faster, or equal the K-3 with better autofocus, but I'm not going to bet the farm it will the specifications don't look all that promising.
Yeah, going from the K-1 to the K-3 is like going from a Shelby to a miata. It has a lot more power at the expense of agility. I know that they downgraded the USB on the K-1 to USB2, I wonder if that is related to the slower bus.
I just went through the photos of one of the bands from this weekend, having shot a bit with the 80-200 on the K-3, with wider primes on the K-1 that night, and was reminded of just how well the K-3 can focus on microphones.
