How big is the sensor on this thing? If they're cramming that kind of res onto an APS-sized sensor, the noise at higher ASA is going to be bad. For example, the Nikon 8700 had 8MP, and was pretty much useless above ASA 200 due to the amount of noise introduced by the sensor (and when I say 'useless' I mean compared to the image quality that you'd get from say a Rebel XT at the same ASA.)
