Title: Leaf Valeo 22 and Valeo 22wi
Post by: jmolder on July 17, 2013, 08:48:35 am

Hi everyone. 
Does anyone know if there is any difference between a leaf vale 22 back and the leaf valeo 22wi?  I know the 22wi came out about a year later and the main difference is the wireless capability.  But is the rest of the back the same? 
I quickly tested a valeo 22 back yesterday and noticed there was a lot more grain than what I remember in files from the 22wi. 
Thanks. 

Paul

Hi Paul,

Those two backs were essentially the same. The Valeo 22Wi came out shortly after the Valeo 22 and they shared 97% of the components, with the 3% being the Bluetooth antenna with the supporting PCB and the casing with the Wi badge on it

Difference in image quality may come from different iso, difference in ambient temperature and software used. Also ensure that the cooling fan was working properly

Hope this helps
