Default Nice macro shot of a wasp

Looks like the prices asked for macro lenses are definitely
worth it.

So where is all the noise these E300's are supposed to generate?

Judging by contrasty edge halos a little heavy on the sharpenning and/or
contrast in PS. The scale is very nice of course.

Looks like it been noise reduced by resizing etc and then sharpened, if you
look closely at the flower there are signs of noise, but still a pretty good
picture at this size

It is an absolute certainty in the mind of people who haven't ever
used the E300, for example Alan Browne.

It is also to be found on digital photography web sites that are not
sponsored by Olympus, such as dpr*****.com, often quoted or used as a
source by people who know next to nothing about photography to make
"authoritative" statements on here about equipment they haven't ever
used, for example ...

.... I'm sure you can guess.

Used it? yes. Much? No. Liked it? Too small, dim viewfinder.

Opinion on noise : dpreview graphs. The E-1 in particular; the E300
ain't great either.

Lack of advertising might indicate another problem:

"Those *******s at dpreview are daring to tell the truth about our noisy
Olympus camera. Pull the advert dollars!!!"

It rubs that way more than the opposite...

My statements regarding noise and the 4/3 system are clearly in regard
to future higher density models with the small sensor size. But Tony
Polson is a great expert at quoting out of context, selective snipping
and plain old sniping at those who disagree with him. Or who have
caught him in one of his numerous truth bending episodes:

-Paris Match cover from the 1970's. Show it Polson.

-.E-1 with 8 Mpixel sensor (BWAAHAHA)
.Consumer version of E-1 with 5 Mpix. (Bwahahha)
.ordered an "E-2" (Bwaahahsh).

-Generalities on aperture size and sharpness

-50 rolls of film per average *week*

-Says Nat Geo Field Guide is greatest thing since sliced bread
(In "gushing" terms, pathetic really)
-Then says it sucks ... which is it Polson?

... etc. ...

Tony Polson: it is long past time for you to post proof that you have
any talent approaching your claims.

Cheers,
Alan.
