K-5, DNG/RAW ISO Case Study (6400-51200)...

First off, I'd like to thank dgaies for putting-in the time and effort to take these wonderful images and uploading them for us grope over.

Secondly... I'd like to mention that these are early renders of what I'd like call a long lasting relationship. For what its worth, I'd like to think that we will only see improvements as we get better acquainted with the K-5 files over time.

Having said that, this doesn't mean we can't have a little fun along the way either right?

So without further ado, here are some ISO200, 6400, 12800, 25600 and 51200 samples to look over. Keeping in mind, that the ISO51200 file does not come cheap(effort vs reward), though it could be useful nonetheless:
