Phenomenal low-light performance at ISO 6400?much better than the MM and 
just blows away the M240. As he points out, it could be a real boon for 
f/16, 1/2000-and-be-there daytime street photography as well as available 
dark.

And BTW, where?s Hoppy been recently? My LUG mail has nothing from him in 
the last month. Did I miss something in one or another of my weeks away from 
keyboard?
