If not, you have remarkably steady hands. -----Original Message----- From: B. D. Colen [mailto:bdcolen@earthlink.net] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 4:01 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: [Leica] C8080 This was shot with the Olympus C8080 8 mgp p&s - which arrived on my doorstep yesterday afternoon - at it's top iso of 400, at 1/6th of a second at f 2.5 - handheld. Converted to B&W using my normal "workflow." I offer it as an example of what the camera can do, not of great photography.:-) http://gallery.leica-users.org/BDCOLENPHOTOS/Tiki My initial impression is that if there's any underexposure at 400, the images are pretty noisy, but that the noise pattern is surprisingly grain-like. The metering tends, I think, to over expose about half-a-stop, but that's easily taken care of by dialing in compensation. The electronic viewfinder is quite good - similar to that on the E-20 - it has manual focus, with the 'blow-up' of the center image - creaky, but useable when autofocus won't cut it. The "instant on" feature really is -instant on. No hesitation or wait at all. Other than that...nothing to report yet. B. D. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
