This was confused somewhat when comparing images due to differences in compulsory raw data Noise Reduction (NR) with the NR for the K20D of the older more blotchy type (stronger) starting at ISO 1600 and the K-7 having the newer less blotchy type (weaker) compulsory NR starting at ISO 3200.

I've heard this statement before, but DXOMark shows both to have non-defeatable NR starting at ISO 3200 (signified by hollow dots on the SNR graph).
