New E-5, Noise

If noise bothers you that much-- you might to invest in a noise reduction plug-in like Dfine or do what I did and buy some 2.0 Olympus lenses or LEICA 1.4 lens. I would start with the 50mm macro lens and then move up to 14-35 and 35-100. Then you will be amazed you can take pics at any focal length at 2.0 with usable non-noise up to about 2000. If fact my 12-60 is collecting dust because I barely use it anymore.

You would have never been a able to take such a clean pic in this lower light situation with your lenses esp if you zoomed in giving you a smaller aperture. This was my E5 w/50mm macro lens.
