dc.watch have just released their SD14 review and you really got to see it to believe it.

The high ISO is amazingly bad.

SD14 at ISO 1600

R5 at ISO 1600

GX100 at ISO 1600 (note that the entire GX100 ISO series is out-of-focus, but still the noise looks way better than that of the SD14)

And here are the shots, downsized to 800x600 and without any noise-reduction applied.

And finally, the same crops with Noiseware applied (as best as I could):

Bottom line: With f/2.5 lens, IS and less splotchy ISO 1600, the GX100 is going to be far more usable than the DP1 for any low light shooting. In fact, so would the R5/R6.
