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

[spidey89]

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:

I thought the E-3 also have 5 stops? In any case, its a bit hard to test out the IS since maybe hand holding 50-200 i can hold say 1/40 whereas someone else can hold 1/60? So probably won't be testing but it works just as well as the E-3, that much I can say for sure, probably tomorrow will test other stuff out

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.


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:

Think i am not mature! :bsmilie:

I am becoming more and more lazy and therefore if i can skip post processing then it would be for the better. So much so that almost 95% of my pics now are PP (pre-processing in-camera using art filters).

Definitely, i would not care much about the art filters if i am using for a job when the ability to quickly switch settings might be pain in the butt. But since i am using this as a platform for my laziness while going for photo outings or travels...... hey it helps.

Just like when others said liveview is gimmicky when oly first came out with it and now? Almost all cameras got it as a default. I wouldnt see why this type of art filters wouldnt be included in future generations of other brands' models. In fact, i would be asking where is that HDR scene mode like the one G12 has.

Have is still better than dont have.

That is why, when they create hard to master Art Filters... for what? Things should be made as easy as possible. Art Filters can be controlled using exposure compensation buttons and on some models of cameras, playing with the dials can give you some interesting differences (maybe due to firmware bug?).

There are quite a lot of these little "easter eggs" out there to discover. If you like Art Filters then you should go explore.

I would prefer my flagship to use all the processing power to do something else... killer image processing. Leave the toys in Pens.

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

No leh, I have no problem with the cam. It is the people at Olympus that I am pissed off about. You never read my post properly... E-System good, Olympus bad. Olympus is made up of people... so PUI!

disclaimer : Nothing to do with anyone from sales in Olympus. Just the person who call the shots on the finalization of a design and what to be released. Most likely someone in Japan and the US. Pui! pui! Pui!!!

Thats his evil plan. To drown his monitor so there's an excuse to missus to buy Eizo high end & use full 10bit display color via display port from the Quadro or FirePro cards. BUAHAHAHAHA!!! BUY! BUY! BUY! :devil: :devil: (how else u think his missus approve budget to buy Pentax 645D, w/o first getting her a $10k LV bag :angel

if you have spare $$$ why not spend it:bsmilie: to the things that makes you happy if you're like me tight on budget will just drool and dream of those things

 

[spidey89]

So I've done more test trying to minimize the differences as much as I can, did the test with light meter, 18% grey card and tripod, all OOC JPEGs, a white balance test first
E-3, E-5 AWB,measured with light meter

E-3, E-5 Custom white balance, measure with 18% grey card and light meter

 

[spidey89]

E-3, E-5 ESP metering, AWB

E-3, E-5 Ctr Weight metering, AWB

 

[spidey89]

E-3, E-5 Spot Metering, AWB

E-3, E-5 Colours, measured with light meter, white balance with grey card, not sure why the E-5 one is darker but settings are the same and the light is more or less the same, bright daylight

 

[spidey89]

E-3, E-5, shooting against light, spot metering at building, gradation normal,WB should be custom using grey card

E-3, E-5, shooting against light, spot metering at building, gradation Auto, WB should be custom using grey card

 

[headfonz]

Couple more samples, Natural mode, ISO200, 12-60. NR standard, Sharpening 0, Gradation Normal. Handheld, IS1. OOC jpegs.

 

[spidey89]

E-3, E-5, AWB for flash, my wall should be blue, settings all the same, flash position the same

E-3, E-5, Custom WB for flash using 18% grey card, my wall should be blue, settings all the same, flash position the same

 

[spidey89]

E-3, E-5, room lighting, measured with light meter, AWB

E-3, E-5, room lighting,measured with light meter, custom white balance with 18% grey card

 

[mojims]

These are on Natural or Vivid picture mode?

E-5 seems a little more saturated...

Hur hur hur... 500RMB E5... can save more money... 15RMB buy crowbar, 20RMB take cab... go warehouse and break in lah...

I don't need an EIzo screen... though I did get the missus a Longchamp bag. Unlike you, I am still thinking hard on the Mac Pro. Cannot see a reason to buy it though since I am not edit loads of video. Hmmm..... have to put money aside for the 645D you know? That is priority.
