You are correct, I re-checked my image bank and found some great
high-ISO winter scenes that I thought were shot with K-r, but are really
made with K-x.

Sorry for a late reply,
K30 is very un-noisy compared to K100D. I just took a look at my written
reviews and sample images of both cameras. K30 images at ISO3200 are quite OK.
K100D images do have visible digital noise and (depending on lighting
conditions) may even have visible horizontal bands. There are also big
differences in color accuracy and dynamic range.
I'd say that Pentax K-r was the first to have greatly improved image quality at
high ISO values. And K30 is a bit better than K-r.
K-x was the one that made the big leap. When I got my K-x I nearly stopped
using my K20. When I got my K-5 I kept the K-x and sold the K20.
The K-r has some big functional advantages over the K-x, and a lot of small
performance advantages.
But, anything made after the K-x will be a huge improvement over the K100.

This is going to be a difficult question to answer without showing comparison
images, but can anyone give me some sort of idea how noisy a K-30 is, compared
to the much older K-100D?
One of the things that bugs me the most about the older cameras like the
K-100D, is the very noticeable noise at higher ISO's. With every step above ISO
200, I can notice additional noise in the image. I think ISO 3200 is horrible.
I've read comments from folks who had much newer DSLR's of various brands, and
some of those folks seem content with ISO 3200 on THEIR camera, and I think
I've even read a few mentions of folks being satisfied with ISO 6400 for
certain applications.
So, how good is the K-30 with regards to high ISO noise, and try to compare it
to an older model like the K-100D if you can. I'm hoping the K-30 will let me
shoot a few stops higher ISO without sacrificing quality. Would that likely be
correct?
Thanks,
Glen
