[Leica] B&W Leica? Higher ISO

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I also like the cleaner look at night with bright lights of the CCD's I got
with my D200.  The streaking I get with my D700 CMOS you've seen.
Its very low light with very bright light sources in it.
Without those very bright light sources the full frame CMOS does a great job
in very low light situations.
