The colours are balanced and despite a relatively wide depth of field at f/13, the open door of the pocket watch is thrown out of focus. Should you read my comments again, i have not suggested anywhere that oly should be somehow superiour to others, simply tried to adress some bit odd testing methods (macro with kit lens and AWB in noise tests) and some conclusions that also felt bit strange (need for shallow DoF for macro and about menusystem, though the last one is subjective, it felt like very superficial approach without getting to know the equipment).

You can turn it off altogether, but the info in the viewfinder doesn't include ISO speed, white balance, battery level, and other useful settings that generally display on a status LCD. n\n Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software\nIncluded in the box, DPP provides high-speed RAW image processing. The camera gives good results on the landscape but the macro is pathetic and the portrait has a slight green tinge to it. Originally released in 2005, the E-500 incorporates the four thirds system to the lenses meaning that the focal lengths have to be doubled which is a lot easier for people like me who are terrible at maths, but the problem can lie when wide angle is necessary as the lens must be wider than other companies to get the same focal length.The colour rendition on the portrait was good and the macro image, whilst not the closest, gave good detail. And once again, this is not oly-specific, i would have written everything i wrote here even if you would have declared the E500 (or E510) the greatest gift to photographers ever manufactured. Also included are the USB lead with Sony's own unique fitting, AV cable, Compactflash adapter to fit Memorystick, quick start guide, CD-ROM and Strap. It was my choice over the K100D when I decided to replace my *istD (plus the others tested as well as some more expensive bodies) and has far exceeded my expectations, and probably my skills! Photos we took with the 400D looked stunning; colours were reproduced accurately; and images were crisp and clear.

ISO80, whilst very smooth, gave a very pale image as though over exposed, but the image was perfectly exposed according to the camera as it was shot on Program mode. Starting out, we stuck to the even-my-grandmother-could-use-this fully automatic setting, as we slowly waded into further settings, such as the 400D's user-selectable nine-point auto-focus system. In my view only thing possible to test in a relatively short time, are lab-specific tests, like ISO testing (though for instance, in the case of new oly's and their ability to turn Noise filter on or off would take quite a bit experimenting to gather all the necessary data) and similar measurable testing with numerical values. The Nikon D40x gave good results in controlled lighting and even the Portrait image had good colour, but had a tendency to get pipped at the post every time.

The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout.

Quote: I see plenty of macro shots with a shallow depth of field, for example flowers use a shallow dof, focusing on the centre. The landscape test had all the cameras on a tripod in the same position with a small aperture for depth of field. It has a big chunky grip and also has some weight to it which will be more balanced when coupled with a heavier lens but that could make it a bit too heavy for some users. In the box is the strap, charger, USB lead, battery, viewfinder cover, quick start guide, Manual in both booklet and CD and Picture Project 1.

Quote:because it feels like a drive-by-review, done without really getting to know the cameras), the overall conclusion is a subjective one, and subjective things can't be argued. The Nikon gave good colour reproduction in this shot from the red of the models hair, to the green of the local flora.
