I agree, Bill. A review of the K-7 in a Norwegian photo journal, concluded that the raw files are very good; Noise levels on par or better than the competition for the Mpix class. However it was also said that "Pentax raw files are not for everyone", noting that the kind of post prod operations needed was different because of the higher level of detail retained. I kinda like it that way. Buttery smoothness can be achieved when one wants it.
