Thanks for the image samples, they do look great. Wondering what kind of noise levels you're seeing at ISO 1600 and 3200. dpreview claims that the SF6000fd isn't as good as the F30 at high ISOs which means that the F31fd may have some noise issues as well, assuming that it uses the same engine as the SF6000fd. This would mean that the F30 produces better high-ISO images, theoretically, anyway. Can you shed some light on this?
