Craig you have a PM

BTW have you tried 0 and +0.3 EV as well as +0.7? Just for comparisons sake

Hi Craig,

I think what Iceblinker was saying is that looking at a 100% crop your image you will see some noise. As you say the 'straight 800 pixel cut of the original' is basically looking at a portion of the image at 100%.

Anyway I still think you should be improve matters a bit by dialling in some positive exposure compensation whilst keeping an eye on highlights

Really, pictures can be deceptive can't they

I guess I didn't take a long enough look at the dimensions...

Hi Cosmo,

Welcome to the forum
You seem to have your kit pretty much covered there already. I do find my DA* 16-50 a great walk around zoom though..... and maybe a couple of spare batteries? Have fun with your new system

Generally with higher ISO I override with exposure compensation to expose to the right. My K20D has a tendency to under expose slightly anyway.
I think a nudge in that direction certainly helps noise in darker areas at higher ISO.

Do you try to expose to the right?
Was this one originally a little underexposed and the compensated for in your RAW converter?

As Terry says, post a few shots for us to have a look.

Those shots I took were hand held under tungsten (i.e without a flash). I've always been pretty impressed with the way the K20D handles noise

Couple of ISO 2000 shots, not birds but you get the general picture (noise wise).

Isn't that the mock up that was shown at the same time as the E-30 (before it was named as an E-30)?
If it is it's really no more than a space model. Having said that it is a neat concept and if it comes market could be very tempting
Oly make some great kit, I'm still fan even though all mines currently up on eBay
