Also.. here is an ISO 3200 converted from RAW, no NR applied (NR off on the camera, also).

Looking at it, 100%, it looks nothing like the noise in your ISO 3200 file. The noise in your ISO 3200 file (see the barrel and shadows) looks blotchy and messy, but in mine it's fine grained (like the k-5). It only is a little blotchy in the OOF areas.

Even at 6400, it's not as blotchy as your 3200... you can see the individual fine grains of noise in my file (see the camera body)

Ah ok - yeah, I heard that the in-camera jpg sharpening is a bit overcooked. I was confused a little bit because we were talking about the RAW for the noise files, and I didn't think the camera sharpening function affected that
