Hi guys, Just to let you know that I did a firmware update which has appeared to have solved the problem, I can now shoot up to 12800 with no where near as much noise that was appearing at a much lower iso (especially colour noise). The images I am getting now are more like I expected from the k5 as I did a lot research before buying! woohoo! Happy girl, maybe now I can get some sleep!

I shoot a lot of gigs so high iso is good for me, and I shot them with my nikon kit lens without any problems at all. Maybe I thought I would be able to jump from one to the other without any problems but the images seem so different! frustrated but wont give up!

Thanks to you all for replying, I know the two shots are not great or comparable but the nikon is still so much smoother. I have shots all different settings etc.. but the nikon pics are always smoother and the pentax grainy( which I feel comes across in the comparisons). This may be due to the pentax showing greater detail in pics? maybe i just need to get to grips with the camera better? was just wondering if anyone has had any issues like this?

not really a good comparison, I know but all nikon shots are just so smooth compared to the pentax in all sorts of situations. there is so much more grain but maybe more detail?

No worries, this is just one shot of hundreds, and all sorts of subjects and all sorts of settings, no shot is without noise? noise that never appeared with my nikon even at the highest iso's so was expecting much better but so far I can't match the nikon no matter which settings I use?

Hi guys,

I have recently upgraded my nikon d3100 for the pentax k5, and am very disappointed with the amount of noise in the pictures. when I compare my nikon shots to the k5 it is shocking! I have turned of all unnecessary in camera settings and played with every setting available, telling myself I just need to get to grips with it but I then compare them and the Nikon is ridiculously better, so much so that my husband who knows nothing about photography can see the difference! I am now thinking there is something wrong with the camera, has anyone else experienced this?:( The Dog is obviously the pentax and the plant the nikon, know the exif is not exatly the same, but the pentax is shot with main lights on there is only a lamp on in the nikon shot! HELP!
