Thanks for the input everyone.
My first major trip with the K7 was to Dubai. I was trying to shoot nighttime photos in a desert camp, but became discouraged because of the noise and the terrible tone of colors. For example, it turned out like this

So naturally I drooled at the K5 when I heard about the high ISO performance. But now I'm doubting myself, because as you already know, I just started learning photography, not very familiar with the K7 yet (tried learning with 2 manuals though), so I feel that my inexperience has done the K7 injustice. I keep on telling myself that I should turn to the photographer for the problem instead of blaming the camera.
But then again, there are tons of threads on this forum that gush over the magic K5 can do... ahhh
This might reflect badly on me - but I'm not really interested in working too much with the technology of the camera (beyond fundamentals), to me it's just a tool, like an instrument that I can play beautiful music with, so the better the quality, the easier it is to use, the better. Is that sound logic or just plain laziness?
Originally posted by felixkh The K7 is a capable camera and if you tweak it like Adam had done, your High ISO photos come out great.
Would you pls link me to what Adam's done?
I'm still considering all the split opinions in the thread! should make a decision in about a week or so.
