The 7D has essentially identical high ISO performance as the 550D/Rebel T2i. The K-x walks ALL over it at high ISO's because the Canon's simply stomp over the resolution of detail with their NR. Yeah, it's clean at 3200. It's also resolving no more than 8-10MP of detail from that 18MP sensor. -- M.
