It appears to me that K7 is much less forgiving (compared to *ist DS) with respect to noise in case of underexposed shots.
My osbservation is that a photo shot with K7 at ISO 200 shows considerable noise in the shadows if the exposure is bumped by 0.75-1.00. The noise is at the level that cannot be removed by "Noise Reduction" function in LR. (DNG, in Lightroom 2.x) Do you see similar level of noise? Yet another observation that I see is that sharpening (with the same parameters that I used with *ist DS: Radius 0.9 or 1.0, Detail 25) is not as effective. I suspect it might be related to the difference in the pixel size. Any comments and/or practical suggestions on this? I don't expect that there is any difference between PEF and DNG in this aspect, am I right?
