all shot taken using 40~150mm, ISO 800
 

Surprise to know that the standard 40-150 kit lens and at ISO 1600 able to take those
beautiful opera's shots. Forget those critics blasting on the high noise levels
Will try out mine.
Always believe it's the guy behind the camera/lens and not the later

Enjoy viewing and thanks

Oly's reputation for high-ISO noise is quite overstated. As long as the picture is well-exposed, noise is really a non-issue (conversely, underexposure is a real killer here).

Also, Oly does very little in-cam noise reduction, if any at all. In any case, I find that NeatImage cleans the picture up very well; there are some noise profiles uploaded for E-1/300/500. I use those, it's pretty good.

A lot of times, we tend to zoom in and pixel-peep; this makes the noise look worse than it is. Prints are most of the time a lot cleaner.

ngeowcs: great opera pics! we don't see much of these in singapore any longer; although if you're going to tell me next that you took those shots in singapore I would probably die with embarrassment. :bsmilie:

meowmeow: i was the orchid show myself; didn't shoot very much though. will try to post something half decent heh.
 

The blues look very Nikon on AWB....lol. (vivid and crisp, slightly overdone at timnes though.)

The greens are nicer, but with a little too much yellow mixed in.

There is too much yellow on the sunset pics.

The reds tend to stray to the pinkish end.

That's my take on the "famed Oly" colors.

I thought smaller sensor noise=more noise? From my experience, the noise levels are quite annoying.
*ahem*
*cough Canon Cough*
 

And you're trying to bait us into a response? :bsmilie:

All the "problems" have been discussed to death; obviously you do not understand the nature of noise based on your "smaller sensor = more noise" remark.

And based on that remark, I guess your "experience" does not figure much, does it?
 

Hahahaha...seems like nobody's going to respond the way he wants us to respond. Been monitoring this thread to see if anyone is going to start this stupid war again.
 

Equipment limitation shall not affect the picture quality much..every brand has its pro and con. How to capture the right compose and the right time is the most important thing to do. Photography is more like 70% arts and 30% science....

Hope you guys enjoy your holidays... I am not good in photography, but I really hate people arguing about equipment pro and con and yet put little effort in shooting better pictures.
 

Enough of that poor sod, I'll just post some "yellowish" greens.
