I don't deny that the K20D high ISO is less noisy than the K10D. I use ISO 3200 & 6400 often. I haven't investigated the various high ISO NR settings. I just set it to weak & left it when I first got the camera.
However I do shoot a quite a few of long exposures 10+ minutes, & the inability to turn off long exposure NR, keeps me carrying the K10D on night shoots.
