Test shot of a 'Cat' taken tonight, indoors with low lighting, ISO 3200 , lens wide open at f2 in macro mode No photoshop just resized to 1024 pixels wide.

Is that a real cat? Interesting looking creature

[Mark Grant]

It's a Chinese cat from a factory, it has batteries inside and frightens dogs when it wakes up

[The Vinyl Adventure]

He looks sad ... Maybe you should try some energizers!

[SteveW]

How you getting on with the x100 then Mark?

[Mark Grant]

It's fantastic but complicated

Not really been anywhere interesting recently for any good photo opportunities.

A couple of photos from when we visited a friend recently for dinner and wine and I tried the X100 at ISO 3200.

A Dog called Finnigan, fluorescent kitchen lighting at ISO 3200 and it looks OK with auto white balance, jpeg straight from camera, just resized for online to 1024 pixels, no photoshop etc:

Wine glasses, again at ISO 3200, lens wide open at f2 and very dimly lit room much darker than it looks in the photo, no photoshop just resized to 1024 pixels:
