    Olympus XZ-1 image thread

    Hey, I just got a XZ-1 and took a couple of test shots... "Grainy B&W" art filter: Also I posted a comparison of the in-camera noise reduction with Olympus Viewer 2 and Picasa here: https://www.photographerslounge.org/f16/getting-off-fence-1336/index2.html

    B&W Black & White, monotone and sepia

    Beautiful shot from a beautiful camera christilou! I just got an Olympus XZ-1, here's a silly "art filter" shot:

    LoL, I see you did cat portraits with your new XZ-1, as I did dog portraits, Lili ;-) I'll try switching from ISO 125 to 100 in case it makes a difference... Thanks for your comments Lili and Andrew!

    getting off the fence

    My Dad sprung for a XZ-1 for my birthday (and for helping scan 82 rolls of APS film!). I've had it for a week now and have confirmed the "smudging" due to excessive in-camera noise reduction, as well as the inability to disable noise reduction in Olympus Viewer 2. I also confirmed that the RAW...

    Olympus XZ-1 image smearing problem, and a possible cause

    I was a little suspicious of the Chinese restaurant photo, because the "smearing" was too abrupt. Sure enough if you follow the thread, the person who took the photo returned to the scene and found that the fence construction caused the appearance of smear. IE the camera is redeemed in this...

    getting off the fence

    Yeah, some of the images in the LX5 and EX1 image threads are also magnificent, so obviously the photographer is a much bigger factor than the camera ;-) Based on the image threads here, it *seems* like the S95 blows highlights more than the LX5. How much of this is due to the preferences or...

    BBW, yep in fact it was the S90/S95 images thread in your Canon forum that really hit home: this camera is capable of really nice quality with the right person behind the lens!

    Film What Film Cameras do you use?

    Wow you guys are totally out of my league, I remember drooling over some of those cameras when I was a teen. Something magical about a black hunk of machined metal and glass... Anyway, I saved up my newspaper-route money for a Minolta SRT-102 and 50mm Rokkor-X f/1.4 and B&W darkroom. Then I...

    getting off the fence

    still on the fence! Apparently I'm still very much on the fence -- I'm leaning toward a Canon S95 now for pocketability. It means giving up much chance of bokeh in portraits, but I've got my DSLR for that... After reading more about the S95 it reminded me of my goal long ago with small...

    getting off the fence

    Here's a page with a calculator to do the math: Digital Camera Sensor Sizes: How it Influences Your Photography (scroll halfway down the page). The standard zoom lens for Olympus 4/3 cameras is a Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-f/5.6. I entered 42mm (84mm equivalent) and f/5.6 in the calculator. For a...

    bokeh with XZ-1 I can't call up hard numbers for you, but I've seen images that I think support this. With f/2.5 at 112mm equivalent, you get a shallow enough depth of field that it makes up for the small sensor handicap. Also the dpreview for the XZ-1 points out that its lens is 2 stops...

    getting off the fence

    I *thought* I was decided Hi BBW, no I hadn't followed up on the "image smearing" thread. That is certainly disconcerting and I hope Olympus addresses this... Olli, I've been window shopping for a long time! I'll look more closely at the LX5 (also the Samsung EX1)... My birthday is in July so...

    Obsessed in Delaware

    Oops, I probably should have posted here instead of in the fixed-lens forum: getting off the fence I'm in (northern!) Delaware; started in the 1970's with Minolta SRT-102/50mm Rokkor-X f/1.4 but got some of my favorite shots with the pocketable Minox 35EL. Now using Pentax K100D (and lenses...

    getting off the fence

    This looks like the year I'll finally replace my 6-yr old compact ;-) My favorite camera was the Minox 35EL, which I researched like crazy and bought in Panama when I was a teenager. Full-frame 35mm, fixed 35mm f/2.8 lens, pocketable, 8oz. I took some of my best pictures with it before...
