I was actually referring to the exposure and dynamic range in the quote you reference. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. Regardless, I wholeheartedly agree with your observation regarding noise; however, given the target audience, I expect ISO 1600 and 3200 images will work just fine in 4x6 prints. Unfortunately, megapixel headlines drive DSLR sales, especially in the consumer entry-level market. That said, I'm curious to see how the A300's 10MPs stack up in terms of noise against the A350.

ISO 1600 has terrible noise in the shadows. That's the result of going back to a CCD sensor. It's equivaent to what you see in a D80 or K10D, last-generation image quality. “I was pretty satisfied with what I got out of in-camera JPEGs from the Sony A350.”
