Different ISO settings are measurbated. It is worth noted that NR does have effect at the base ISO of 100 already, if "strong" is selected.

And, there are more measurbations for all the Q system lenses, including distortion and resolution measurements. For instance, here are the 01, 02 and 02 test pages, respectively:-

Furthermore, a side-by-side comparison against the Q10 is also made:-

It seems to me - Q7 has no AA filter

none of the Qs have an AA filter....
Q7 is much sharper.
Larger pixels...better S/N ratio...newer process....

Its also using more of the image circle, so therefore challenging the lens less. It is indeed much sharper. Noticeably so. I think this is a great upgrade. Too bad the pentaxforums review kind of panned it. It will be interesting to see what dpreview has to say. Not that it matters much to me. I think this is a great tool and I would certainly buy one if I didn't already carry a DSLR everywhere and wanted to lose some bulk. I sure wish they would make a nice metal body with weathersealing.....
Not sure about other Pentax users, but I find 'reviews' by Pentax Forums to be next to useless.
I have to agree with you this time, finally! ;-)
If those lens tests are anything to go by, the Q7 is much sharper. Those lenses also look very sharp wide open. The Q looks pretty appealing with the larger sensor if you ask me. A nice improvement.

A good gadget. Great gift for the boss.
As the P&S camera - the zoom compact cameras are more useful and convenient for photography, and as the camera with interchangable lens - the DSLR is better and more powerful.
