Skuffende fra Olympus E-3

[haakonts]

Jeg har alltid likt Olympus, særlig de små og nette film speilrefleksene fra i gamle dager.

 

Det er derfor litt skuffende å lese om Olympus sitt flaggskip hos Luminous landscape

 

"The banding issue starts to show itself quite badly at lower ISO's too, (especially in the blue and red channels), on even moderately short time exposures, even when dark frame subtraction is used. Dark frame subtraction is pretty much compulsory for any exposures longer than a second or two. Whereas Canons from the 10D onwards, and current crop Nikons can be used for extended time exposures without DFS and still supply eminently high quality files, the same cannot be said of the Olympus."

 

"The other serious issue is AF performance. As reported above, in well lit fairly benign situations, the AF works very well, but start attempting to use the system in even some of the slightly challenging situations a professional photographer might put the camera to use in and the implementation just starts falling apart. The continuous AF, especially in multipoint selection, is next to useless. This issue has been raised in some Olympus user forums, with various responses, but at the end of the day, I just want a system that works without having to wait for alternate Thursdays whilst standing on one leg howling at the moon!"

 

Som sagt, skuffende.

Det kan nesten høres ut som om testeren der har fått et defekt kamera. Men det kan sikkert de som faktisk har E3 si noe mer om.
