Oh the under exposed shots are terrible (the K10D is less forgiving than the D when it comes to exposure IMO). But even the correctly exposed frames have this streaky blue channel noise through it. In the busy parts of the shot isn't so noticeable, but in the black areas it stands out like a sore

Most complaints about excessive noise at reasonable ISO settings are, in my experience, almost always due to underexposure. Digital exposure evaluation should be predicated on getting as much exposure as possible without saturating the pixels where you want detail in the highlights, and
