Yeah, I thought people were misreading the question. but, it is good t o see people open thier mind, and instead of answering "sophisticated" answeres on DSLR understand my question. your answer is exectly what I asked, I wonder what is the fuji stabilizer do then ? It just increases the ISO to compensate for camera shake and subject motion. Which is ok, if you can tolerate the heavy noise reduction done. I bought a Fuji F30 because everybody was raving about how great the high ISO's were, and I find evidently my standards are too high, and I find I dislike everything over ISO 400. -- Michael Meissner email: yes, I as well don't like the iso 400 , infact, I try to take pictures at iso 80 as much as I can. so the fuji, so called solution, to shaking is quite lame.. altough they meet all the other criteria I wanted . the S9000 series. |

Why don't you go search dpreview.com yourself? -- Ed Ruf )http://edwardgruf.com/Digital_Photog...ral/index.html I am sorry to bother you from your peaceful life, why you read news groups if you don't want to help people ? Some people's entire repertoire of responses is "go check dpreview.com." In reality, as you have found, the dpreview database engine is very limited, and many criteria can't be specified, i.e. the articulating LCD. Also, have you ever seen a camera that didn't get at least a "Recommended" rating on dpreview? The baseline for readers of dpreview is to not buy anything that is not "Highly Recommended." I think that any camera that earns a review of less than "Recommended" simply doesn't get its review included on the site. I found one camera, once, that didn't get a "Recommended" or "Highly Recommended" rating. I find the reviews athttp://dcresource.com/more informative. In any case, the bottom line is that there is no camera that meets your requirements on its own. The S3 IS, with the wide converter lens and adapter is as close as you'll get unless you drop the requirement for the articulating LCD, and IMVAIO, this is not a requirement that you should drop. One advantage of the S3 IS over some other cameras is the wide range of accessories, including the wide angle converter, a telephoto lens that increases the telephoto range even more (to 648mm!), a close up lens, and a slave flash. The one negative about the S3 IS in terms of features is that it uses AA cells rather than a Li-Ion battery pack. Canon did this to save money, but it's very annoying to have to use AA cells.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - yes, but the canon lens expander cost so much.,. so it is not an option.. |

All it buys me is a camera that I can fit in my pocket. Not counting my E-1 since a DSLR is an unfair comparison, both my Olympus C-2100UZ and Canon S1 produce better ISO 400 pictures than the Fuji. I hate the NR smearing that the camera does (I have cats whose fur details is really smeared badly by heavy handed NR). Michael, Thanks for that - I have heard a number of people saying how wonderful the Fuji is, so it's good to have a different opinion for once. It seems that an important difference is the image processing - certain processing styles suit different people better, but its subjective, of course. Important for those who don't use raw. Several weeks ago I mentioned having seen an F10 review that demonstrated how it was possible to get poor noise performance : Something else I recall but unfortunately have been unable to rediscover is that at least two reviews mentioned (and one in great detail with several charts) that the F10's high ISO/low noise performance was actually not particularly good at higher ISOs such as 400 if the (and here I don't recall the specifics) ISO was automatically selected by the camera. This might explain the smeared detail MM experienced. I finally located the review that I had seen. It said : Noise Auto ISO (3.22) We test the automatic ISO setting in bright light, so users can see if their Florida family reunion pictures will have random purple pixels dancing across them. The Fujifilm F10 performed similarly to other compact models, most of which score in the 2-3 range. The F10 earned an automatic ISO noise score of 3.22, which is mediocre and should be the cause of some concern for straight automatic users. Unless you are shooting in bright daylight, in automatic ISO mode, the F10 will display significant noise. Note: the automatic ISO setting can be chosen at any time, but it does not automatically activate in the Auto mode; users must set it to Auto. Noise Manual ISO (11.42) Fortunately, the F10 performed much better when the ISO rating was manually adjusted. The FinePix F10 offers the following ISO ratings for manual adjustment: 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600. This range goes far beyond what most compact digital cameras offer. To test the walk behind the talk, we tested noise levels at each of the ISO ratings and entered the data into a regression analysis to determine the overall score. The noise levels are depicted on the graph below on the vertical axis, with the ISO ratings shown on the horizontal axis. [chart here] The Fujifilm F10 surprised us with an overall manual ISO noise score of 11.42. Most compact models score in the 4-5 range on this test, so reaching this level is pretty unbelievable. Images are virtually noise-free and they rival SLR photos. The F10 displayed less noise using its ISO 1600 than any camera released this year that we have tested at ISO 400 (including the Canon PowerShot SD500, the Konica Minolta Z5 [at ISO 320], the Kodak Z740, Panasonic FZ5, etc.). This is truly unbelievable! With results like these, you’re much better off adjusting the ISO yourself. http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/con...erformance.htm |

[] http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/con...erformance.htm Thanks for that. I have found it important to establish early on when using a new camera how the auto-ISO behaves, and whether the gain-up steps occur at an exposure value you would choose yourself. From my own tests, many cameras appear to try and avoid camera shake at shutter speeds where I would still be happy to use the lower ISO, and therefore adjust to a higher ISO sooner than I would with manual control. I believe that you can program these adjustment points on some Nikon cameras. Talking of brands and noise.... It is most unfortunate that noise and MTF measurements are made separately, because it means that you can get a lower measured noise figure (averaged over the image) simply by making the picture less sharp, whereas the signal-to-noise ratio at higher spatial frequencies may actually be worse. Different observers may prefer either the noisier-but-sharper or the less-noisy-but-softer image, depending on just what image processing the camera has by default (and some softening may suit certain subjects, of course). I am still convinced that the processing defaults make quite a difference to people's camera preferences. Cheers, David |
