Give up trying to optimize your photography with your camera, get something that actually has soul™, git gud, and learn to actually enjoy photography.
The KP's image quality is only a little behind the Sony unless you're trying to get your camera to see in the dark and slow shutter speeds aren't an option. That's the main thing that matters.
You'll never enjoy photography using a Sony. The enjoyment of Sony comes not from photography, but from wearing beanies and hiring hot models so you can show off on instagram and tiktok.
Notice very few people run Youtube channels about Pentax except Snappiness, despite it being an uncontested niche. That's because once people buy Pentax, they actually start taking pictures.
>>4443464Just get a Pentax K3iii with DA Limited's. 15mm for your wide-ish, 40mm or 70mm depending on what you consider a short telephoto, 35mm for your macro. For your super telephoto you can pick up the 300mm.
>>4443465Google "Pentax Limited Lens Special Site". Start collecting.
>>4443479Once you start printing large 24mp because inadequate. 40MP sounds like what I'd like to shoot for, but 30s are more realistic. Once you git gud someone always has some rich aunt that insists on buying large ass prints as a Christmas gift regardless of your genre of photography. 20x30 prints are not uncommon.
>>4443460Are you printing large? No? Doesn't matter.
Are you enjoying photography? Yes? Does matter.
Gigapixel AI works in a pinch if large prints do matter (although it's nice being able to say your art is untouched by AI, AI denoise and upscaling seems to be legit areas to use AI -- basically use it to make up for technological shortcomings, not artistic vision shortcomings).
