According to tests, all the Pentax bodies have poor noise performance, but the comparison is against bodies like the 200D and D50 which are essentially noise-free below 1600 and extremely clean at 1600+, not film which is grainier than any reasonably current 1.5x sensor camera at a given ISO. In the real world, they're good but not stellar. I don't expect the 10MP body to be noticably worse for noise than the 6MP bodies, but I wouldn't expect much better either. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
