I am happy with the GRD too, but I must also say that any ISO above 400 
is unacceptably grainy because of the small sensor with tightly packed 
pixels. I now use Noise Ninja on any GRD image shot at 400 or above. So 
from that point of view, the thought of a proper sensor in a compact 
package is very tempting to me.

Although, with the difference in maximum apertures between the Sigma and 
the GRD (f4 vs. f2.3) much of the Sigma sensor's advantage in low light 
is negated by its slow lens.
