My original post relates to raw files only. I thought that point would have been clear from my mentioning the use of Photo Ninja for raw conversion and noise reduction.

Well not exactly, your first sentence is:
Quote: I'm sure that many on this forum are aware that
Pentax DSLRs have always had problems showing detail in the bright red cloth in Imaging Resource's standard still life scene.
and anyone who frequents IR reviews knows that the still life comparisons they show are SOOC jpegs, so at least by inference you are not just talking raws.
As many have done I have downloaded a high ISO k-3 raw and seen plenty of detail in the red fabric as long as I go easy on the colour/chroma noise slider in lightroom (for example).
As to your question of whether pentax raws are more susceptible than other cameras, one could easily download raws for the D7100, 70D etc and see, or maybe one of the other threads already has this?
