Latest review for the S7000

Latest reviews of the S7000 , HERE is out..looks like the Super-CCD isn't going to do justice to this camera. Photos look noisy with the Super-CCD. So is the Minolta A1 a better option after reading that review? Perhaps you guys can shed some light based on the latest review.

ISO 400 is obviously going to look noisy (no more than a G5), but the ISO 200 looks pretty decent. But what is really lacking is TTL flash. I'd take the A1 over the S7000 anyday.

Note: I was previously a 602z user and loved its fantastic feature set.

I was one of those who suggested a firmware update to allow the focus ring on the 602 to serve as zoom as well, it's all digitally mapping anyway. Seems like they put that on the S7000.
