Subject: [Leica] K10d shake reduction

I'm thinking of getting the 10D and I've played with it at my local  camera 
store. The samples I got at high ISO's of 400 to 1600 were in my eyes  
*better* 
than the shots I get with my F30. Less noise, more detail, etc.  probably 
due 
to the fact that we're comparing the APS-C sized sensor in the  10D with a 
sensor smaller than your fingernail like the one in the Fuji F30.  Fuji has 
performed miracles with their point and shoot cameras but I would have  no 
hesitation at all about shooting the 10D at 800 or 1600 ISO.
