Ok so I went to the Museum with my K-30. These shots aren't really intended for analysis but there is some higher ISO stuff in it. Some are edited etc, all resized to 1200px. I was stoked with it, never needed ISO 12800 I forced it just for interests sake. Saw a few folk with their cams taking photos with flash on, glass exhibit cases with the inherent frowns that followed

Probably the only ones of interest would be:

12,800 DNG that was converted and de-noised with noiseware community edition. I can upload original DNG if people wish. Passable in smaller sizes.

6400 DNG similarly de-noised. Strange combo of lights and natural lighting caused some odd WB stuff.

6400 in-cam JPG, noise reduction what the camera defaults to. Has had levels adjust etc.

They're very encouraging. Nice shots, too.

Pentax's in-camera JPEG noise reduction is pretty good, IMO, as I found using RAW+ on my Q, and your in-camera JPEG bears this out.

You've done well, getting your K30 and taking it out for us to see - it's not in the shops here in Oz yet. The best I've seen is "coming soon".

Nice shots, but not my kind of museum.

Thanks for sharing, I'm looking to jump ship from Canon 60D to the new K-30 could you share a DNG at ISO 100 with a bit of shadow areas ??
