Slightly jelly like. No edge. Can it be set to a lower setting on the anti noise thing? I think just a hint of noise and a bit of an edge to the pic goes over quite well to many and most viewers. Though its got an 23.6 mm x 15.6 mm (APS-C) sensor sensor technology has of course moved along. And what was not possible when I was shooting Nikon D40's and D200's 3 to 10 years ago seems perfectly possible now. Though again I still would like to see a few with some noise dialed in and see really a bit more what the optics are all about. On 6/9/13 4:34 PM, "Richard S.
