This was a real world impromptu test.

Gepetto,
I haven't tested the D-Lux 3 yet but your examples seem to show a significant improvement in file quality at ISO 400. I asked Leica specifically about the new model at high ISO in a meeting this summer and was told that this aspect of the camera, in particular, had received attention in the new model. I'm glad that you did this comparison with RAW files so as to eliminate the confounding variable of JPEG smoothing. In fact, now that I've seen your comparison, I'm going to try to move the D-Lux 3 further ahead in the line for review.
If this comparison is indicative, the D-Lux 3 certainly should not be dismissed out of hand.
Cheers,
Sean
