EX2f review on AP and WDC

Both last week's WDC and this weeks AP review the EX2f. Generally positive, but both criticise the processing time for Raws and minor beef's about some of the ergonomics.

They both arrive at astonishingly high figures for resolution at 100 and 200 iso - above many ILC's - but it quickly drops above that. WDC thinks the images up to 1600 iso are useable, but AP wouldn't go above 800. WDC awarded it a recommended. They tested the LX7 in the same issue, showing very average resolutions at low iso, but maintaining it throughout the iso range - so presumably better than the EX2 in low light. Despite the seemingly poor resolution they gave it a Gold award.

To my surprise AP said there was little difference with AF speed between the EX1 and 2. Although I liked the daylight images from my EX1, I sold it partly bcause of the sluggish AF. I thought Samsung said they had improved this aspect - any views from users welcome.
