Funny you should post this report, Jaume. Few days ago I had very
similar experience with my K-7 - misconfigured the flash and it did not
fire in rather dimly lit room. I had to apply a bit of Topaz Denoise
(but again, I fancy it now, 'cause it is my most recent 'toy') and the
picture was totally salvageable.
The opposite however is much more interesting. Off top of my head, K10D
has about 1 Ev (may be a bit more) of RAW headroom in bright areas. K-7
in turn has hardly 0.5 Ev. In fact, K-7 really sucks when it comes to
dealing with bright light - minimal exposure error - total loss. I will
be much more interested to know how K-5 fares in that department. I
sincerely hope it does better than both K10D and K-7.
Oh yes, I just said that out loud - K-7 sensor really sucks.

This fortunate Spanish K-5 owner tried to recover a picture where the flash
didn't fire when it was supposed to do (it wasn't charged).
They challenged the camera for fun and were surprised by the results:
