It's the dreaded banding that seems to affect these shots the most.
Its very hard to manage in NR and can be quite prominent on some camera's in contrast to others.
I don't know if the banding is the worst of the issues brought on by the K7 at ISO3200 though.
because color blotching to be fairly prominent as well.
But the banding sure can't help in the end.
For what it's worth, we have two K20's, and one of them has worst banding than the other.
Though the worst of the two has the later firmware, I refuse to upgrade old trusty just in case that it's performance is somehow tied into that.
