Thanks for the update! It will be interesting to see how it does in the field and under the microscope!

Given the noise difference between the GRD and GRD II, it's a good thing they didn't go with a 12mp sensor.

Thanks for the links to my blog =). After further review of the RAW files, and in light of John Sheehy's and PIX Surgeon's remarks on the DPR forums, I think it is unlikely that Ricoh has applied on-sensor, destructive NR to the GRD2 RAW files. That is a relief! Based on these early samples, I believe that the majority of users and reviewers alike will greatly prefer the image quality of the GRD 2 to that of the GRD. On the other hand, the GRD 2 noise does not seem as crisp as it is with the GRD, so the overall high ISO (ISO 400+) aesthetic may not suit everyone who appreciates the GRD look. Regards, Amin
