Thanks, but now that contradicts Toshi ? Important information lost in translation ?
Anyway, in that case, will have to check it out, although that chart shows a virtually unchanged image resolution from the lens which is very promising. Maybe they just left some behind for anti-dust

It seems like it. I did a search on major forums that discussed this interview and I can't seem to find any revelation on the AAF/LPF... "Weak/weaken AAF/LPF" kept on popping up during the search.

Well, just saw headfonz' samples of pre-production, the moire indicates a very weak or no aaf. Should be good enough.
.
Image quality is good isn't it?
One more thing... battery life (BLM-5) is good too. The battery indicator lessed one bar after 700+ shots during a charity event.

I can't tell yet, will have to do it myself
, and post-production version..
It should be weaker AAF, since the AAF also serves to block IR wavelength from affecting the colours, so i don't think they have removed it totally.
Is the Leica M9 image engine processing out IR wavelength? sorry i'm haven't been following RF tech.
Eh... what is post-production version har? :bsmilie:I can't tell yet, will have to do it myself

I don't know, I am more macro than micro, so I am only interested in the final results.
At any rate, it is not perfect, it has moire too.
So we shall see if production E-5 has moire too. I can accept it and pp moire out, I subscribe to the statement that "it would be a crime to use an AA filter with Leica glass" - change the word "Leica" to your favorite glass :bsmilie:
.
What color? You want Pentax K-x colors for the body? That would make for a great professional camera body. :bsmilie:
You know what I mean :bsmilie:

Disappointment. From the sample images posted on the other thread, I am quite disappointed with the image outcome.
So far with the pre-production camera images, it seems that :
- This camera is still geared towards photographers who do not want or do not know how to process their images after shooting.
- The new Art Filters aren't convincing at all. I can do a thousand times more in Photoshop. The novelty has truly worn out.
- The color improvements aren't that impressive.
- The noise reduction is taking away too much information and details. Might be the setting in the camera when the pictures were shot. It is even more disappointing to know that the images were shot using the 12-60mm which is a very sharp lens.
I will give it one more chance and wait for the production model sample images and hope that there are improvements. But the sample images are not convincing, in fact, disappointing.
But I do have a few more questions.
How about live view performance? Any improvements?
Heat and battery drain? How many shots with one charge? Since the batteries are still quite new.
headfonz, were you shooting with one battery in camera or using HLD-4?
Burst of a series of images. Write speed?
Best if someone with a E3 can do a comparison, since I know headfonz only has the lower end E-30. Not a fair comparison since the E-30 is not a flagship camera. Do an apple to apple comparison. Write speed, buffer speed, etc.
Side by side comparison (A-B) between the E3 and E5. And see the details and color difference.
I am too far from Beijing to pick up the pre-production model, so I will have to ask you guys to help me shoot some A-B shots.
Two stops of light means nothing at the moment. I have steady hands so shooting at low shutter speeds is not an issue for me. ISO performance is not an issue here.
Colors... I am expecting better colors from the new engine. AAF is also not an issue here for me unlike clubgrit's requirements.
Let's see what happens...
I am still quite disappointed. Hardware cannot make it, and it is the engine now that will convince me to buy the new camera... but so far... sigh...

Thanks bro. I think you understand what I am hoping to see.
Shall wait for the test images. Many thanks.
ps. I suspect we will all be surprised at the "new Olympus colors".
I ain't gonna be the fatty model if that's what you're thinking :bsmilie::angel: But I'll be happy to help
your size make it easy to focus :lovegrin:
Basket!

I agree bro. The improvement is minimal.
The sad thing i see is... from E1, there's a downhill in terms of IQ. I can understand the E300 & 500 have lesser IQ, but when the E330 came... I went "What the...." Strange isn't it? Then they bring IQ back up a little after many yrs & claim the world with this new "100% pixel utilisation".
In my eyes, the leadership in Oly is very weak. The co. has absolutely no vision, & totally clueless about where they r heading / shud head. Its like a bakery cake shop, their core product is to make cakes, tasty ones, fancy ones, etc. Then suddenly they want to make pao. All sorts, big one, small one, chicken, char siew, abalone, shark fin, lotus paste, red bean paste, veg ones, etc... The head came out & say "we're still considering baking cakes" Considering ur core product? Jialat liao.
In my books, Oly credibility is gone. :bheart:
