Fuji F10 first image at 1600 ISO

[Franglais]

I bought my F10 yesterday. This looked like the camera to have with me every day, small enough to put in a pocket yet with good quality images (6MPix) and the ability to work in low light (80-1600 ISO) because when I'm out on the road I'm always doing pictures inside offices or hotels or at night.

I took it down to a model-making show today along with my Leica. The F10 is not suited to this sort of thing because there's only the LCD monitor to frame the image but at least it fires instantly.

First impression - it seems just as good as my D70.

Here's an image done at 1600 ISO, Natural Light mode (no flash) 1/140s ff2.8. Yes, the train was moving and I had no problem in focussing first then shooting just when the train got to the right place.

Wow, that is quite exceptional at 1600 ISO. Could you post a 100% crop of a smaller section?

I found a shot done on the D70 at 1/125s to make a fair comparison. At 100% they look pretty similar. At 200% I would even say the F10 was slightly ahead.

First D70. Second F10
