Theories differ from practices of course. For example, the Canon 50D has a pixel size of merely 4.7 microns, but by all accounts, its high ISO (and high means a couple stops above 1250) is still respectful. So keep in mind that Leica's main focus is the highest quality pictures. They can probably do a boost high ISO mode, but then people will concentrate on that. For their intended markets, this is probably the right tradeoff. On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 11:52 AM, J.
