Comparing them to the output from the D700 is hardly fair, I would
expect the D700 to simply blow the K-7 away at high ISOs, the question
is how does it compare to the D300...

I pulled my battery off the charger and took a few test shots with the
DA* 16-45 in extremely low light. I posted two on photo.net. In this
folder you'll see a near full frame of each and a100% crop. The ISO
was set to 3200 and high ISO noise reduction is set to medium. I'd
guess each was about a quarter stop underexposed, so slightly better
performance is probably possible. I'd judge these as slightly better
than the K20D but definitely not in the same league as the Nikon D700.
Of course, this isn't a conclusive test, just a first look.
Low light focus was very good with the focus assist light.I love the
quiet shutter on this camera and the hi-res monitor display. That
will be a big plus at wedding receptions and the like. The camera
doesn't fit my hand right without the battery grip, because with a
wrist strap my thumb ends up too high on the back of the camera. But I
think it will be fine with the grip. It feels like a little tank. Well
built.
The folder of four shots is here:

Exposure info is included in each pics title. The bar shot was at
50mm, the house pic at 18mm.
