I didn't understand every word of the preview, but one thing I did glean is that they thought the write time (jpg+raw) was slow -- about 5 seconds. This was on a pre-production camera, however.

That's a wiiiiide thirty-five, it is. Too wide for this boy.

Thank you for the link - Google Translate does a fair job on the Spanish text.

Interesting - this review doesn't speak about framelines briefly disappearing during autufocus action (!).

File storage delays may still be ironed out - I read in some other reviews that the camera features multiple processors. So hopefully, filesave delays may still be ironed out with improvements of inter-processor cooordination and communication.

The good news in this review is that the reviewer was impressed with autofocus speed.

Too cryptic, please repeat... cannot compute. 😉

Wow - the high ISO pictures are very impressive. Apparently, the pictures were shot in Barcelona - I have several of the pictured locations in some of my shots that I took using a Nikon D300.

The X100 is clearly outperforming the D300 in noise terms. Only one thing: I didn't like the ISO 6400 sample - it shows signs of overly aggressive denoising (strange halos of lowered color saturation around high-contrast edges).

Images look really good....

it looks good at higher ISO, way better than what I expected!

Thanks for the Link

Great link!!! Thanks.

The D300 is turning 4 this year. They're not really comparable cameras...but yes it is an improvement. I'm more interested to see how this stacks up against the current offering of DX sensors (D3100, D7000, T3i, 60D) than the D300.

Yes, me too. If it came with a 50mm or even 40mm, I'd buy it in a second.

Trying to keep my head about me, so I'll only note that 3200 looks quite good.

Well, it's a point of reference, and very relevant (at least) for me, because low light is one of my favorite uses of my D300, and the D300 was hailed a low-light specialist when it was launched.

Does anyone plan to use this in JPEG mode?

Looks freaking amazing. Slays my 5d in ISO performance. Lens looks amazingly good too.

They can't look bad for that bag of money! 😉

Yes.

I never shoot raw with my GF1 and GH2. But who knows, I might be persuaded to shoot raw if there is a compelling reason to.

 

[jsrockit]

I was just wondering wjlapier... because the high ISO samples would only matter to the who do I would imagine.
