[ Sample Images/New Product ] - E5 Pre-production Unit Images

:bsmilie:

I'm looking forward to get a E-5, soon.

To add, Viewer 2 though can demosaic E-5's ORF but it is not yet optimised. Olympus has to release an update. Then we can really see and judge the image quality of E-5.

enjoy bro... if they have maybe a smaller 4/3 maybe E-XXX I might consider hehehe the bulk and price of E5 puts me off .

Like most Oly users Oly forgets the middle users like me and only thinks of the pros and the entry level (m4/3) with this my confident level for Oly is very very very very very very very low :thumbsd::cry:

any shots scrutinizing noise for the shadows areas for SAT shots between these two cams. Especially for night scene or very dark areas.

 

[spidey89]

looking at the photos, I dunno if you have not adjust the white balance E5 is on the warmer side while E3 on the bluish cooler side but 1st photo DR is just slight better the E3... I dunno about SAT hahaha so i wont comment

Cause the WB on the E-5 I set to cloudy and the E-3 I set to auto, hence I said ignore the WB since afterall,it was shot with intentions of looking at DR rather than colour

Tonight or tomorrow I will do the auto white balance check as well

hehehe anyways looking at it still I find its not much compare with E3 unless you can post something that could see the huge differnce

waiting for it

Dynamic. ISO 640

If the old man is around, he would have been ashamed to show this image to anyone. This is Olympus color? These sample images would simply put ANYONE off Olympus cameras. I hope someone in Japan realise this and work on the Art Filters prior to production release.

(headfonz, this has nothing to do with you, my quarrel is with Olympus).

From the passion of the E1 team until this.

Shame on you, Olympus. Shame on you.

:thumbsup: That one is the dynamic filter? You still want the ISO test?

Bro, this was with the Dynamic Art Filter as stated. Which is a heavy handed effect. Not representative of the natural colour rendition of the E5.

I'll try and shoot more files without art filters tomorrow.

Regarding the DR Filter can you control it? or it's all auto by the cam? I find all DR filter photo posted are really scary looking photos over Exaggerated

But the fork and knife series are quite good I like the noise control and the retention of details

 

[NazgulKing]

I'm a bit curious though. Why is the DR filter ... rather undynamic?

Could be uDR Sony has HDR in cam Oly uDR? (just kidding)

but seriously Oly should try to redo the DR filter its way too off:nono:

my guess is it would take a lot of skills to use the art filters properly as different art filters react differently to different situations. It would be hard given the short time for any reviewers to master these.

But doesn't the green and red all look rather harsh? :dunno:

 

[harper]

just hope the production pics are better then those from the pre... or think will be giving the E5 the miss too...

i think we all need to realise that when it comes to sample images, any type of non-lab environment shots will not be able to satisfy the requirements of the viewers. let alone shots that has effect filters. that is an oversight on my part and i do apologise.

unfortunately, the E5 ORFs is not recognised by my version of Viewer 2, or i could process the same shots sans art filter, gradation, NR, picture mode, sharpening, etc in the image pipeline.

but still, it would not be able to replicate the environmental factors that could have contributed to little nuances to the final image, e.g. ambient temperature, humidity that may or may not have affect the sensor/image engine's core temperature when it captured the shot.

whether or not you ladies and gentlemen will appreciate the art filters is entirely up to your personal preference. its a feature and it can be turned off without much difficulty.

may i suggest that for those of you attending the 2 Oct hands-on session to bring your current camera and lenses along and take A-B comparison shots with the various settings to compare the images for your own judgement?

But the pork and knife series are quite good I like the noise control and the retention of details

Why keep talking about the pork & knife? I dun see any pork le. Who ate it huh? Now left only the fork & knife & they r so clean, the "glut" must have left early & a new set has been laid. :bsmilie::bsmilie:

Shame on you, Olympus. Shame on you.

From an earlier link post of the DT filter, i already mention not so nice. But its touted to be the in-thing for art over at deviant art. :sweat: Its ok la, only a filter effect, good thing can turn off. Noise definitely has improved.


Hey spidey89, why shoot at ISO800? Why not do it at ISO 100 to test IBIS effectiveness? :lovegrin:

 

[spidey89]

Cause I didn't change the settings and the main purpose wasn't to test the IBIS anyway,hahahah

Yes please... for the sake of the community. That is why you guys have the camera. ha ha ha...

Thanks bro. I think the more matured shooters are totally uninterested in Art Filters. We do a million times better on Photoshop. I do want to see how the E5 performs on normal images. Its dynamic range, ISO performance in different lighting conditions, etc.

my guess is it would take a lot of skills to use the art filters properly as different art filters react differently to different situations. It would be hard given the short time for any reviewers to master these.

That kind of defeat the purpose of having Art Filters in the first place right? It is supposed to make life easier for the photographers. The initial set of Art Filters on the E-P1 were easy to use and manipulate. Trust the engineers at Olympus to overdo things.

Three letter word... PUI! :thumbsd:

Why he needs to test the IBIS they are posting photos to show the E5 IQ and Higher ISO capabilities and NR...

Will do! Tomorrow! I want to sleep soon! :bsmilie:

Aiyo bro, why so emo??? Its juz a cam la, its a thing only, no need emotional attachment :angel:

Why he needs to test the IBIS they are posting photos to show the E5 IQ and Higher ISO capabilities and NR...

Becos E5 said to have 5 stops. E3 has 4, so this is a job for SUPER SPIDEY!! HAHAHAHA!! :bsmilie:

In fact, its good to test out other aspect of the cam to see how overall it works. Eg, is the metering as acccurate or better? Focus accuracy compared to E3? etc.... Things like that is good to look into to see what other improvements is made inside the shell besides the obvious extras. Video? Anyone tested that feature? :lovegrin:
