And noise [or lack of] is always on my radar. I carefully followed the Fuji dSLRs with my interest focused on their relatively noise-free images at high ISO. Just 6 years ago, I was getting awful noise OUTDOORS in shadows with my Minolta digicam. Noise reduction is the quantum leap I'm always looking for. Accurate metering and focus, well that's icing on the cake.
