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)
