Panasonic had hired a photographer who did some B&W landscapes with the Panasonic progenitor and the tonality/sharpness was quite good although he was only showing prints in the 8X range. Digital noise was not readily apparent at an ISO of 400 and even so there were several noise reducers shown with the product Nik possibly the best combination.
