ISO was 100. Exposure was correct and not adjusted in postprocess. The only PP I did was minor tweak to the girl's face (cheeks, mainly) to reduce redness and clone out the rubberband holding the mousetrap in place.
Yes, image would be better if it was in focus, heh.
I guess I'm just frustrated because I was able to edit the crap outta my k10d images, and I feel like I can't do that with the k5 images without seeing pixelation and banding.
Edited to add: banding isn't really evident here, but if you look closely on left, there are bands. I've got other images where it's much more obvious.

Reason: adding a thought.
