Excellent photos, I was wondering if you have ever had problems with noise?
I have heard several people complain about the W7: "that the Anti-noise processing trades away some subtle subject detail" and that "Image noise somewhat higher than average. Some noise was present in the Sony W7's images, even at ISO 100. It was fairly fine-grained, but the camera was also apparently trading away some of the more subtle subject detail to hold the noise in check."

All of this may just be Sony bashing due to loyalty to another brand.
Well anyway I'm asking because I need a replacment for my CP4500 and I am pondering between the W5 and the W7.
Thanks
Ben
