Panasonic FX01 Digital Camera Counts Backwards

Panasonic’s FX series gets a fresh start and there’s no FX10, at least not now (it stopped at FX09). The highly popular FX series takes a surprising step backwards and starts counting from FX01. Looks like a good idea as some people I know can’t even count to 5.
Not one to rest on its laurels, Panasonic has enabled the DMC-FX01 to shoot at a maximum sensitivity setting of ISO 1600, with its new High Sensitivity Mode. This ingenious mode reduces image blur caused by subject movement – particularly indoors – by shooting at fast shutter speeds. Made possible by the mixed-pixel read out method of the CCD, users can now enjoy good quality 4”x6” prints of moments that would otherwise be lost. Whilst the resolution will not be as high in this mode, High Sensitivity is the difference between getting a shot or not at all.

I will be buying this camera…sounds like it’s going to be fun to take on trips!!
Any info on the level of image noise at high ISO levels?
