Yes Richard, it is the content, and I have certainly advocated that position 
many times. Yet it is disappointing that Leica is unable to give us good 
high(ish) ISO. Yes, occasionally an image shot at 1250 or 2500 is usable, 
but just as often it is not. I know that in the film days we were happy with 
grainy film images at 1600, but the goal posts have moved, and it is utterly 
frustrating that my Pentax K5 does ISO 6400 far better than any Leica does 
ISO 2500.

Cheers,
Nathan
