Yes. Particularly for when you are making A3 and larger prints and/or  
working with finely detailed scenes, the K10D gives you more data to  
work with in rendering the photograph.

The difference is not enormous ... max of about 29% in linear  
resolution ... so if you're making smallish prints (up to 8x12) it  
will be difficult to see.
