Let's hope the noise is under control properly.

Saw that on anandtech. It's really getting rediculous. 12MPs!?!?! Really? They had issues with noise in a ultra zoom like the FZ-30 and FZ-50, now they are trying to ram 12 megapixels in a compact? With ISO 6400? Sad, really.

I came accross this article (http://www.dpreview.com/articles/compactcamerahighiso/) yesterday that puts this whole mess in perspective.

I like everything about the little Panasonics except the output...the most important thing.
I seriously doubt this new one will be any better. Too bad, really, considering the Leica lens, O.I.S., etc.
