Wow. Another escalation of tangental rhetoric. if you look at the mu43 forums or rumor sites, you do see some that have elevated the high iso issue to the former status of MP. It can be pretty maddening simply because they can't see past it. Of course it matters for most and for some it's critical. OTOH, it should be no mystery that a body that can give decent results to 1600 can be someone's favorite camera.
