And F2.4 24mm lens which is at least 1 stop faster than most compacts.

Another comparison. (Notice the shadow area especially)
P mode (ISO400, F2.4, 1/20s)
Twilight mode (ISO400, F2.4, 1/25s)
a picture speaks a thousand words... i am impressed... the twilight mode where multiple images are taken and then layered.. can we adjust the ISO at which it is done? I know for F70EXR, the ISO is set as ISO1600 as a feature of pro-lowlight mode... :thumbsup:
no doubt its impressive, i will still stick to my trusty F200EXR... perhaps will get it when WX2 or WX3 is released.

In twilight mode, ISO is in AUTO mode as it will try to match the fastest possible shutter speed according to the ambient lighting.
Meaning even if you use in good lighting, at base ISO160, it will still try to eliminate noise.
Yup, for a starter, WX1 is quite impressive. I would say it's best compact ever produced by Sony and definitely it's a good platform for rest of it's product range.
I can't imagine how's the quality is like when Exmor R is being introduced in DSLR soon...
Again I want to point out that this is not low light high ISO. It's just high ISO. Test the camera under low light high ISO and see if it's as impressive. I tested the A900 under low light and it isn't pretty... using ISO6400 then. Will post tonight or tomorrow afterI get down to working on the jpegs.
Yap you are right that if it is not low light high ISO it is not conclusive.
Check the links that I posted, some are low light high ISO mainly up to 3200 in very dark condition.
The ones taken with Twilight mode is pretty impressive.
Also for those who are looking to get the Party Shot, my advise is don't.
Utterly useless or maybe I was expecting too much.

Checked your links in the signature, no sign of these photos... link a few here?
Low light is quite subjective. Those photos I took were in my study room with only 2 x downlights lighted only. So I think it's not very well lit.
But I do agree as when I took some photos at the living room of my son, the noise was quite terrible even at ISO200. But then when I used my A700, even at ISO400 was also quite noisy, so I guess my house is indeed very dark.
Actually when i compared to some past photos I took using F200EXR and LX3 of the same scene (the printer and i-pen), at ISO400 and above was also quite noisy, but I think Sony matches their performance quite well.
I think for very low lit conditions, flash/external flash is still required. If not why all those wedding photographer with SUPER good noise control D3 still uses flash right?
So conclusion, my house is too dark for photography.

It was on my earlier post, signature links need to dig in.
For a P&S it perform pretty well (at least to me).
Don't ask me to compare to all my other cameras but I might want to try with other 24mm compact that I own.

looks good for hi-ISO.... low ISO is not that good... meaning if u want superb hi-ISO get this.. if u need low ISO for taking superb broad daylight photos.. WX1 doesn't really fit the bill...

WX1 is able to zoom like F70EXR during video recording... :thumbsup:

Hmm... a low light situation would occur when you cannot use low ISO (400 and below) and get a sharp shot. That is the shutter speed is too low to handhold even when the lens is wide open... In the given examples, the closeup shots indicate ISO400... not high ISO yet... the earlier shots at ISO3200 would be more indicative since the shutter is only 1/50s...
after seeing so many photos online...
i can conclude... WX1 is a good for taking very low-light shoots using its twilight mode (multiple stacking of images), but during broad daylight, it leaves quite a substantial bit to be desired...
WX1 is one for very low light.. for broad daylight and normal indoor shots, i will stick to other brands like Canon S90 (promising), LX3, F200EXR to name some...

So you're comparing to Fujis? Are you sure you're not a new account for a banned user?
Why not buy from MS Color? You might have gotten a discount...
Stock not in yet for MSC. I just stay opposite them, of course naturally should buy from them.
I only wanted to try out at SonyStyle, end up buying it....:sweat:
Haha... Sometime is like that, when infected by BBB virus.
Yah man, this is something women always disagree...esp wives...
When you wanna buy, just buy it if you can afford....if gonna wait till discount or sale...by then the "feeling" already gone...even if it's very cheap, still that kind of urge is no longer there....
Thanks... did you do any PP? It looks like there was NR done on the chroma noise... I would most surprised if the chroma noise was absent in the original jpeg? The details are completely lost in the b&w shot while the other shots are not so indicative due to the extreme dynamic range created by the spotlights...
