I've just seen the specs on fujifilm.com. Looks promising.
diffuse rms granularity of 10, about par for the E-6's in this speed.
I do not understand the last sentence - can you explain? Astia IS an E-6,
isn't it?

I think so, yes. I would like to take a consistent as possible series of
picture home with me. Consider two shots of icebergs, one with, the other
without warmin filter!
