"I like the non-hyped, straight talking of Mr.Tatamiya. It is very Pentax-like talking. His forehead is now much shinier."
----- Hi, Ken. Is that a Japanese saying? A shiny forehead? I assume it is a compliment. Anyway, I appreciated his straight talk too. We now know much more about what to expect. ---- "I like the fact that they did not try to wrestle with noise but leave it for users to take advantage of it." ----- Yes, this is the right approach. I don't know what to make of my comparison shots. In the image from the GX10, the table top appears rather noisy to me, especially compared to the *ist D shot at ISO 800. Looking just at the table, the GX10 shot at 800 looks more like the *ist D shot at 1600. But I think the GX10 image is also underexposed. Maybe we haven't learned anything more with these shots. The GX10 shot is clearly sharper, but I don't know if there was any post-processing. Maybe it is the result of the 10 mp sensor?
