Noise compariso - E500/510/520

 

 

 

Here's a very quick and dirty noise comparison between the three cameras. All shot at iso1600, shady daylight. Not strictly accurate as I'm shooting jpg not RAW, but the 520 wins - look around the monitor name especially. Also, its colour is best. (What looks like moire on the scanner cover is a reflection of the wallpaper)

Comparing the E510 & E520

I've taken these shots to compare the output of the 510 & 520. Large images are linked behind the small ones on screen.

For the comparison shots, I've used the following settings:
JPG straight out the camera, SHQ on the 510, Large Fine on the 520
ISO 200, "Natural" tone curve
"P" setting
14 - 42 kit lens, 14mm setting.

Base shot - E520

 

This shot is taken with the E520, 14-42 lens, "P" setting, Large Fine jpg straight out the camera.
