danob; I do not work with Jpeg unless I have to the cameras highest setting saves as a tiff. I only save as a Jpeg when posting to the net etc.. The cameras lowest ISO is 160. I have taken a good look around DPreview (thinks for tip Misha) and looked at all the data and compared it to the other 2 cameras I am thinking about. I am going away for a few days at the end of this week so I will take it with me and see what I can get out of it.
