Re: SP-100ee another selection of samples ( 9 images)

The last photo is intriguing. It seems that the camera's noise suppression is panicking and trying to repair the out of focus trees at infinity and creating a problem where none existed. My Sony TV does this if the broadcast quality is less than good. Possibly the water colour would be a blur anyhow and viewing at normal sizes there is not really a problem.

Possibly by smearing like this it could make the normal image better. Just because it looks bad at 100% does not mean it is making the normal image worst, but it could actually improve the colour intensity in the image. Just a thought.

Edit: I mean the last photo on your original set.

The same complaint arises with the SH-50 -

The picture was taken in the same month that I bought the SH-50. Usually I find that over the first six months focussing improves, as does the handling of noise in consequence. But as stated in another thread - if landscape is your thing, these Olympus small BSI CMOS sensor compacts and bridge cameras are not, uhm, ideal for landscapes. Night shots I have taken with my SH-50 do suggest that the firmware is already the optimum for the sensors employed in the SH-50, as it appears to be the case for the SP-100EE.

Yes that does not look to good either. This is not a camera I would want to use for a day out general shooting, I would use my X-S1

Just one afterthought - you do have the compression set to FINE, on the first MENU page? The default was NORMAL on my SH-50.

Thanks for the thought but I have tried both fine and normal the smearing effect is the same.
