This guy has posted the best controlled comparison I have seen of noise
levels in the two cameras:

Navigate through until you get to the original size images.
Pentax claimed that the K7 would have lower noise. This is clearly not
so. The difference is especially apparent at ISO 3200 and 6400 (both of
which I would like to use).
I'm glad I haven't yet bought a K7. I may still buy one, but not for
better noise. Or I may wait to see what testing shows when the K8 comes out.
Some reports claim that Pentax implemented less noise reduction in RAW
images from the K7, and that this accounts for its poorer noise
performance. I don't know whether this is true or just BS.
From what I read, the K7 is a fine camera in other respects.
