I think I am just about to hit the "Buy" button and get myself a replacement
for the A200 I love so much. More on camera trades and choices below, now the
important part:
This is a dealbreaker for me. The reviews point out the fact that the noise
above ISO 800 is above average. My question is: What if I were using lower
ISO's? Please, keep in mind that I am concerned with one case only-long
exposure. To paraphrase my question: Does it mean that noisy sensor at high
ISO's would produce noisy long exposure pictures at low ISO's?
Here is on the camera choice:
I have been doing trades for the last few weeks and everything boiled down to
three manufacturers: Fuji, Olympus and Sony. My SFO and boss in life, gave me a
budget of around $800, give or take $100. I can buy a lot of Fuji, but I wont,
because the cheapest telephoto will cost me $450. Then there were two choices
left: Olympus EM-10 and the Sony A65. Yes, I know the animosity on this list
towards Sony, especially after Nathan's tirade about his TV connectivity issue.
To me, the most important feature in a camera is live view. Sony is still light
years before anybody else. Olympus does it very well in the mirrorless cameras,
Nikon and Canon - just pathetic.
I can have the Sony with two lenses of Olympus compatible quality, covering the
27-300mm range for about $650. I can have the EM-10 with a single lens covering
28-84mm for about $790. A coworker of mine (who has four of my OM lenses) would
let me borrow his micro four third lenses any time I want. Problem is, I do not
feel like spending more money later and in reality, I like both cameras equally.
Needless to say, I have not completely made up my mind and am prolly easily
persuaded against the Sony (but admit, it is hard to argue against minimum $150
less and 24MP's...:)
Best
Boris
