I think I am just about to hit the "Buy" button and get myself a replacement 
for the A200 I love so much. More on camera trades and choices below, now the 
important part:

This is a dealbreaker for me. The reviews point out the fact that the noise 
above ISO 800 is above average. My question is: What if I were using lower 
ISO's? Please, keep in mind that I am concerned with one case only-long 
exposure. To paraphrase my question: Does it mean that noisy sensor at high 
ISO's would produce noisy long exposure pictures at low ISO's?

Here is on the camera choice:

I have been doing trades for the last few weeks and everything boiled down to 
three manufacturers: Fuji, Olympus and Sony. My SFO and boss in life, gave me a 
budget of around $800, give or take $100. I can buy a lot of Fuji, but I wont, 
because the cheapest telephoto will cost me $450. Then there were two choices 
left: Olympus EM-10 and the Sony A65. Yes, I know the animosity on this list 
towards Sony, especially after Nathan's tirade about his TV connectivity issue.

To me, the most important feature in a camera is live view. Sony is still light 
years before anybody else. Olympus does it very well in the mirrorless cameras, 
Nikon and Canon - just pathetic. 

I can have the Sony with two lenses of Olympus compatible quality, covering the 
27-300mm range for about $650. I can have the EM-10 with a single lens covering 
28-84mm for about $790. A coworker of mine (who has four of my OM lenses) would 
let me borrow his micro four third lenses any time I want. Problem is, I do not 
feel like spending more money later and in reality, I like both cameras equally.

Needless to say, I have not completely made up my mind and am prolly easily 
persuaded against the Sony (but admit, it is hard to argue against minimum $150 
less and 24MP's...:)

Best


Boris
