I am an an amateur photographer, and wanted to buy a good digi-cam with manual mode since quite some time now. I originally had a pentax P1. Since this purchase, i am extremely glad about the investment i made! The images on lower ISOs comes a little grainy but can be manupalated with the Manual over-ride. Just Amazing!
The ISO tests you guys do is so unprofessional, you guys shoot pics of different ISOs in the same lighting condition, every lighting is different, diff ISOs are meant to be used in different lighting conditions, apart from the fact that there is noise in higher ISOs , the ISO test does not prove anything else
