So, what is the present consensus on the subject of the high-ISO performance of K-x (besides the decrease in the number of pixels): is it mostly due to processing and hence is applicable only to JPEG, or RAW images also show considerable improvement over K-7?
Judge by yourself these comparison shots for K-20D and K-x (136 MB file to download): www.dariobonazza.com/public/HighISO.zip
Warning: serious risk of camera buying can result from seeing those pics! I believe the decrease in pixel count is negligible in practical use, while the improvement in high-ISO performance is so evident one could think of comparing APS to FF. And remember the K-7 high-ISO performance has not improved over the K20D, given the extra noise caused by the four-channel structure and higher transfer rate of the K-7.
