FZ7 also ultra compact? Is it true?

Noisy pic? If you see my Minolta S304 ISO800 in action, you won't say noisy pic is still better than no pic. It have a lot of hot pixel
By the way, FZ7 sample pic at 800 and 1600 haven't come out. Some more, 1600 not at full resolution. I think its just crap. Just get F11 + dSLR.
For a 12x camera at this size? its ultra compact.
If u dun have the pic, its worst than you have a noisy pic. Sometime u just need to get the pic rather than no pic at all.
it will still be very useable if the ISO 1600 is only availble at 2-3mega pixels.

Since FZ5 RM1700+, this FZ7 probably RM2000+
i can't find the exact price, cuz it's gonna be released by March..
FZ7 is going to be replace FZ5, figure that out.

personally i don expect much from the noise level improvement... cos the CCD size is still same as FZ5 worst is 6mp... means even smaller photosite..
agree on this unless they wan to sacrify detail and put in a heavier noise reduction.

U sure fujifilm f11 has low noise level at high ISO?
Pretty sure it is lowest interm of "compact" camera.
