I did a walk arond the block and took about 30 frames in different light condition and with scenes of different contrast. I had the 50mm 1.8 and I forgot of putting the lens hood,never mind. The sky was pretty overcast in NY today. So was a good test for bad light condition. I have to say that in general everything went well. I shot mostly in automatic and in Af doing point and shot and rarely an exposure compensation. I did not spend more than 5sec for composition. I live down town NY therefore I had plenties of bricks and iron gates and grills, carton boxes at my disposal. LOL
I also had plenty of different shade of colors. I shot in raw, of course, and in automatic white balance, wich I swithced and fine tuned on the raw convereters later.
The shot at 80 iso were outstanding the detail is similar at a 6 by 7 film drum scanned (maybe not, but pretty close). Colors were nice and the noise on the darkest object in the shade was good. Almost as good as a 10D at 100 iso, which means almost no noise at all. In pratic if I print even very larg that noise wont be visible at naked eye.
In some photos was possible reading some tiny text on carton boxes few meters away, or a smal badge on a yellow cab 4/5 meters away.
At 200 iso thing changes of course, the noise on the dark and underexposed objects became visible at 100% magnification, but it would not be more than on MF 6 by7 film at the same ISO. It is printable safety on a magazine spread or catalogue and it is pretty manageable with Neat Image. On the lightened areas there is a sort of super fine grain similar at an 100 iso MF film.
Probably because of the faster shutter speed at 200 iso the pics had more contrast and of course they were sharper. colors changed a bit and became more saturated than 80 iso.
I had in 1 occasion a very light almost invisible magenta blob while shooting at an airliner flying far away above me. since the exposure was in auto the aperture went at f11 and that was when the red blob showed up, but it was almost invisible and soft edged. It was just over the airplain do. LOL. The shot was 1 stop under exposed, because of the sky, once you compensate, the magenta blob would disappear.
I also made some shots inside the Chelsea market, wich is a place lighten by those gas light bulbs and colorfull neon lights, and there was a bit of magenta halo on the overexposed lightings, but I think It would had been the same even shooting with a Canon, maybe a little less, still it is something that if you do not like it , then you need Photoshop, even with a Canon. In any case, if I was shooting film under that lightings would had been much worst.
Of course these are very simple observations and I was shooting in casual style and I call them as I see.
I'm sorry if I do not post any images, I eventually do when I do some serious work with the camera.

now I regret it because I could analyze it better, after the moment of madness.
