(Pal Jensen)Actually, the K-7 has clean ISO 1000 and more. This images is shot at 1000ISO, and as if that wasn't enough, it is cropped 50% as well.
No noise reduction.(end quote)
I agree with Pal Jensen's statement here as I have had similar experiences with my K-7 under stronger lighting conditions.
I notice I get more noise when I crop photos... There is no question about it from my experience.
I also question FF can really give you less noise. Yes and no I would suspect. If you fill up the viewing frame with a FF camera sure, I would think you would get a nice image with less noise. But when you crop it about 50%, I wouldn't think a FF would give you any better noise performance over an ASP-C sensor if all other things are equal.
This photo is about a 50% crop from my K-7:

I had the ISO at 1000 when I took this with my K-7:
