Very impressive!! Did you do any post processing for noise? Or is this sooc? (gettting closer to trading my G11 for an XZ)

Ok, many reviewers state, that at High ISO the XZ-1 is best used with RAW as above ISO 400 detail goes to water color due to the noise filter.
On the eVolt e510/410 the same thing happens but you can turn off the noise filter in the menu and use jpeg happily. On my E-PL1 the jpegs are the best I have ever had and I got spoiled. The I got the XZ with that glorious Fast Lens and found the reviewers were right about the Hi ISO jpegs. I finally installed Olympus Viewer 2 to process the ORF files from the XZ-1 as my version of Silkypix Pro doesn't do them. I simply turned off the noise filter and raised the sharpness a bit. All final tweaks were done in Silkypix Pro; curves, contrast etc...
This is at ISO 640 where previously I found jpegs to be unusable! NO NR was done here at all.

Another excellent picture, Lili - great sharpness on the face and nice dof. The lens is impressive.

I'm impressed with the sharpness of that lens and the steadiness of your hand Lili.
