X20 Full-size ISO 400 images

Thank you very much for uploading full size samples. Much appreciated, as is your comments regarding actual use, as well as your comparisons to closely associated cameras.

Personally, I find the images a bit over noise reduced. ISO 100 look great, and also seems to hold on to highlights well. ISO 200, is quite similar only a small notch down. ISO 400 starts to loose it, and noise(reduction) seems to be the culprit. Unfortunately the noise reduction seems to be warranted, judging by for instance the noise in the face of your lovely wife in front of the temple with the fountain. If I were to buy the camera myself, and I am sorely tempted to do so, I'd probably use less noise reduction by default and apply it post capture to achieve a good compromise for the particular subject matter. Not that this really differs from other small sensor compacts that typically have two weaknesses - noise and dynamic range. Happily, I see little evidence of problems with dynamic range, overall, I'm still quite hopeful!
