Olympus FE-5020 Reviews
PhotographyBlog reviews the Olympus FE-5020 and writes;
“image noise begins to slowly creep into shot from ISO 400 upwards. And, although ISO 800 would be usable if pushed, at ISO 1600, images appear as if being viewed through a smear of grease, detail significantly degraded.”

Pocket-Lint reviews the Olympus FE-5020 and writes;
“It looks good and retails for a fair price, so it’s disappointing the standard images the FE-5020 produces could do with a boost in contrast and saturation”

I appreciate the is review however when you show sample photos, please show important higher than320 ASA samples. As you know digital noise is one of the major drawbacks to these kinds of cameras so we need to know how noisy the photo is. You have left off right where, in my opinion, you should have started to show us ASA comparisons. Thank you. And please also show what hi asa photos look like on tripod and in daylight so we can see what the noise actually is.
