Upon further analysis including ISO 3200 files and having RAW Developer noise reduction as well as sharpening completely disabled I tend to conclude that the noise penalty for the higher pixel density is relatively small (downsized and compared to the Canon 7D). It´s clearly more evident at ISO 3200 but that´s already a somewhat extreme territory. The A77 Raw files look reasonably sharp too.
