Olympus C-7070 Noise tests
Hi All,
I've placed an article up on my site with noise tests of the C-7070 to join those of the E-330. The article is at http://www.dimagemaker.com/article.php?articleID=525. RAW files are available for download off of the following page http://www.dimagemaker.com/specials/cameras/camtests.php Cheers, Wayne Wayne J.

Olympus C-7070 Noise tests
Wonderful Wayne, another set of tests that really don't mean a lot. How
about an evaluation of what the photos look like when printed at various sizes? I hear so much crap about measuring noise and you know what, a lot of the time it just doesn't matter a lot to lots of folks. What they really want to know is that on their crappy little P&S or mind bogglingly expensive package can they take the shot at 800ISO and then get a decent print at 6x4 or 8x10 or whatever,??? How many people will actually download the RAW files and do an actual comparison themselves with other photos and would it actually mean anything if they did? Cheers.

Noise tests don't mean a thing without stating how many pixels there are. Speaking of which, I hope that's at least an 8MP camera because those photos have fat gobs of noise filtering damage. |

Olympus C-7070 Noise tests
Ok, now I don't get it. If I do a review as such, people complain they
want to see the RAW files. I give people 100% sectional JPEGs and they can download the RAW files if they want, and you want the specs, which other people say they don't need because they have already seen them at Olympus' web site or on dpreview or whatever. It is a 7.1MP camera. I've been making the RAW files available because a lot of people want to look for themselves. And since there is a lot of activity with older cameras (like the C-7070) I've decided to start making all these RAW files available as a service if people want them. Cheers, Wayne Wayne J.

Olympus C-7070 Noise tests
HI Pete,
Well people ask for the RAW files, so I am making them available. From the download stats I'd say quite a few want the data to make up their own minds. Re your claim that print size is what people really want to know, I am not so sure, and it still ends up being very subjective. What looks good to me on my printer may not look great on another or to another. Photogs are funny creatures and some are more critical than others. It also vastly depends on the type of photography you do and subject matter. So to do something meaningful here you would need to print, say, 3 different types of images on a current HP, Canon and Epson, for 9 combinations minimum. Plus which Epson, HP or Canon model do you choose? I look forward to seeing your tests. Cheers, Wayne Wayne J.
