    Re: New Olympus E-5!

    I think the noise performance in all ISOs is in par with the best in class. You can judge for yourself, there are image samples from the E-5 posted on some websites. Here are the links:

    Re: New Olympus E-5!

    to be al fair, looking at E-5 and then looking at the Panasonic GH2, GH2 looks like a better choice, i am still waiting for RAW images of E-5 but might end up with GH2 as it seems more of a advancement in 4/3 realm.

    E-5 is impressive with the IQ for now, the ISO 3200 looks really promising but i will wait until some people get their hands on it and post images. GH2 and E-5 are promising but GH2 is more than E-5.

    After all i will need to sell the idea to my wife first which can take time.

    The GH2 has some nice specifications, but wouldn't say it is better than the E-5. Depends what you need- the E-5 is much more rugged and a better choice if you are in bad weather or get the camera banged around. The Olympus HG+ lenses are weathersealed and are faster than the G lenses (though more expensive). If video is of primary importance, the GH2 looks alot better.

    Would really have to see more examples of the GH2 image quality- the E-5 looks quite good so far.
