I had briefly scanned the F10 review on dpreview when you mentioned you
bought one of these but I didn't really pay it much attention. Today I
went back and looked at the samples and was wowed by the ISO 800 and
1600 stuff. Especially this image of the inside of a theater:

Pull up the page and select image #10. Looks like good lens performance
as well as low noise.
Pretty amazing performance for something with a 9x12mm sensor. At this
same pixel density a 4/3 sensor would have close to 13MP and an APS-C
size sensor would have close to 20MP. I guess there's plenty of
headroom left. It has to stop growing pretty soon as it will be
outrunning the resolution of the lenses.
