[Leica] D4 High ISO

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Forgot to mention the AF performance of the D$.  I think you will find it 
outperforms the D800 quite decisively also.  It locks on very fast and 
positively, where some of my friends who use the D800 have complained that 
they get a fair amount of hunting with their D800's.  this was one of the 
things that pushed me to buy mine, especially in low light.

Just interested in this body for High ISO performance - I usually need high
shutter speeds on safari, and our jungles are dark places - and the buffer,
which lets you go on and on on Continuous Mode for a boring length of time,
for wildlife action sequences. Even I was not prepared for how usable, at a
pinch, a ISO 25600 image is...it was a very pleasant surprise!

Besides which, I am getting an excellent price both for the D4 body, which
is about a month old with less than 2000 shots taken, as well as a very
good trade-in price for my D700. It would cost me a net price of around
US$3100, which I think is well worth it, so I probably will acquire it.

Cheers
Jayanand
