I'm extremly suprise with it's high ISO results. This bad boy is going to rock hard!

I dunno... there's tons of midtone noise at ISO 1600 and up.I'm extremly suprise with it's high ISO results. This bad boy is going to rock hard!
Everything's relative . . . if you're comparing it with the d-lux4? Or the dp1?I dunno... there's tons of midtone noise at ISO 1600 and up.
I guess I was relating sensitivity/noise performance to sensor size. Can't resist comparing to SLR sensors.Everything's relative . . . if you're comparing it with the d-lux4? Or the dp1?
ENVY = except no viewfinder yet, to complete the phrase :ROTFL:Thank you Ben . . . I thought the silence was reproachful
I won't even go into the issue of envy.
HI TimWhich applications (Win) can read the E-P1 RAW files? Photoshop?, Capture One?
Any suggestions? :grin:
I need education about the .orf format. :lecture:
Thanks
... and PentaxHI Tim
I just wish they would use .dng like Leica do - it makes life so much simpler!
HI Jorgen... and Pentax
That's right, and when there's a viewfinder version of the Olympus out, I'll be running for it, to use with my OM primes (if I have any money left after buying the Pentax ). For me, the Pentax will be a bit of an M8 substitute. Think the M8 with a 90/2, the K-7 with a 77/1.8 and an A900 with a 135/1.8. I'm not sure which will be the most compact, but I know which one will be way bigger and heavier than the other two.HI Jorgen
I didn't know that - how sensible they are . . . the K7 looks great, but it's no more pocketable than an M8, the A900 with the 24-105 . . or, indeed, a london bus
Hmm wellThat's right, and when there's a viewfinder version of the Olympus out, I'll be running for it, to use with my OM primes (if I have any money left after buying the Pentax ). For me, the Pentax will be a bit of an M8 substitute. Think the M8 with a 90/2, the K-7 with a 77/1.8 and an A900 with a 135/1.8. I'm not sure which will be the most compact, but I know which one will be way bigger and heavier than the other two.
But of course, compared to the London Bus, they will all seem rather tiny
Ummm... I had to check. The Pentax combo is slightly lighter than the Leica. The Sony is the same as the two combined. Not sure about the bus. Depends if it has a full tank, doesn't it :toocool:
You forgot the weight of the lenses. The Cron is 500g, the Pentax 270g and the Zeiss 1,050g. The Pentax 77/1.8 and the 35/2.8 macro and the 15/4.0 and the weather sealed 55/1.4 weighs in at 1,072g. Even the excellent, weather sealed 50-135/2.8 isn't more than 765g. From an objective point of view, the Pentax 70/2.4 is a better lens than the 77mm. It's sharp from corner to corner, even wide open, it's cheaper, it's smaller and it's even lighter at 130g, but it's also 7mm shorter and one stop slower.Hmm well
M8 = 591gm
K7 = 750
A900 = 895
So the Pentax is closer to the A900 than the leica. I'm sure the pentax 77 1.8 is lovely, but it's hardly comparable to the 135 zeiss (at least in focal length), and if you put the 75 'cron on the Leica instead ?
Thanks for that. It was good seeing it in hand (I did notice that one was using the big wrist/hand grip--wondering if he felt it was easier to handle that way--or afraid to drop it).
Then again, what else are Olympus reps gonna say?The most interesting comment to me, was the performance of the LCD in bright light. Of course, these are Olympus people, not independent users, but that bodes pretty well nonetheless.
