I downloaded all of them, and I thought, on the whole, resolution of fine 
detail was superb. This body is definitely a purchase I will consider 
seriously when it is released. At that resolution it gives me plenty of 
cropping potential so I do not need to carry an APS-C sensor body with me 
anymore. That it is very usable at ISO6400 is enough for me - one of the 
beta testers on a Nikon list for pro shooters was mentioning that its low 
light performance is as good, if not marginally better, than the D3s. The 
only disadvantage that I can see for my needs is a low fps, but I can live 
with that.
Cheers
