This Japaneese site http://digitalcamera.impress.co.jp/06_02/auth/toku1/index_iso.htm is presenting a worthless test of several cameras, amongst which, one is the E-500. The test is worthless because so far nobody explained how the tests were done. The result for Oly at ISO 1600 is not very pleasing, due to all the colored dots in the white figure against the black background. So, I decided to do my own 'worthless' test of about the same settings.
My settings are as follows:
Light: 10W 12V halogen spotlight from about 0.5 metres from the object.
Object: White chess figure, 4cm heighth.
Background: Black cardboard paper.
ISO: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600
NR on, RAW format used.
Lens 1: 14-45 mm at 45mm
Autofocus used
Lens 2: Zuiko OM 50mm f1.8 set to f16 + MF-1
Manual focus (obviously)
Aperture priority
Central weight measurment
I took 33 images, will post some tomorrow because now it is after 11pm and I am tired.
