I came across some videos in Youtube discussing an issue some people have with K3's sharpness:

He tends to ramble, but long story short his shots with k5 IIs were sharper with k3. He found out it was caused with k3's auto high ISO noise reduction, which seems to be more aggressive. Turning it off and the quality vastly improved.
So I'm curious about the people out there. Do you leave NR settings at default/auto, or do you turn it off (and probably do it in PP)? Did you notice a difference when the NR is on or off in terms of sharpness? Does the NR affect both raw and jpg?
