[Leica] [OM] IMG: Three from the Olympus E-1

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Nathan,

I am aware that you think I am out of my gourd for continuing to pull 
out the E-1, and I wish it had 24MP, but it doesn't.  These were shot at 
ISO 200, the base ISO for the 5MP sensor.  I realize that high ISOs are 
the holy grail, and everyone jumped on the CMOS bandwagon, but, to me, 
the colors were degraded in the changeover.

I am hoping that the X-T2, when it gets released, will be an 
improvement.  That could convince me to go further down the Fuji road.

Thanks for the kind words.  The images are cropped, and I kept the 
posted sizes small, for that reason.  The cropping is probably 
responsible for the noise that you notice.

> These are nice images, but not because of the camera. In fact, to my eye they show the limitations of the aging sensor—I do not know at what ISO you shot them, but the noise is quite prominent. The sharpness of the images is more a function of the lens, and the overall composition etc. is due to your fine eye.
