Re: Whither Olympus SP-100

That is an excellent description, particularly since you have compared the SP100 against a popular Canon model, the SX50.

Sharpness, with long zooms in particular, is often obtained in the camera by the firmware. This also brings up noise, so the firmware also has to apply noise cancellation. This in turn tends to kill fine detail. I got some bleating about that for my SH-1 here on this forum.

When the sharpening is NOT done in the camera, I can often do it with Photo Shop Elements. There I have control over how much sharpening I do, and how much noise reduction has to follow without killing the detail too much.
