It sounds like Sony sacrificed some of the stratospheric ISO capabilities for a higher resolution sensor. Not an unheard of trade-off, but some will take exception to it, I'm sure. Otherwise, it looks like a very nice camera. Time will tell ... I look forward to hearing what you say about it once you get to work with it. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
