I've shot about 2,000 frames with the Sony and not one outdoors(!) that I 
can recall. Everything at ISO 1250, f/4, and around 1/80 sec. I don't know 
if I could use it for street photography, but I will have the chance when 
the summer session ends. The Sonys of the past 3 years have set the bar much 
higher.
