I recently picked up a Quattro.
So here are the High ISO test shots. All taken at f2.8 Aperture Priority, AWB setting. In the past everyone agreed that from 100-200 ISO was the best ISO range. So I am not posting anything from that range. The ISO range being tested starts are ISO 400 and goes to 6400 for both color and monochrome. From 3200 to 6400, I have added 1/3 stop ISO values (4000 and 5000). In general I find that there is about one stop in color and almost 2 stops in monochrome. The issue is that everyone has different opinions on what is acceptable level of noise related issues to them.
The Quattro has eliminated (grayed out the banding noise slider) vs the Merrill which still has this slider active. There is chroma and luminous noise handling for color and luminous only for monochrome now.
Anyway here u go, u judge for yourself
Cheers

ISO 400
ISO 800
ISO 1600
In the past from this point on - the results were just plain horrible.. Whether u like these or not, they are much better than what I remember seeing from the Merrill.
