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.
