See the link below for an excellent video and examples of setting your exposure. https://youtu.be/kh1MBfSaCUI Also, see the article I recently updated. This will enable you to explain the examples in the above video. Why is this important? You need this knowledge to make informed decisions when you ...

How does it happen that people accept something like the "size and capture" theory? You will find more about this question on my blog. Go to my "Size and Capture theory and Marketing" article. I agree there are differences between sensor sizes. My concern is the fact that marketers have no problem t...

Hi guys I wrote a short article on my blog with my thoughts about OM-System and the OM-5. https://myolympusomd.blogspot.com/2022/10/the-new-om-5-from-om-digital-solutions.html I agree with Rob, the OM-5 will be a good camera and easy to recommend to others. We have reached a point in IQ where the di...

OM-1 photographers know that the OM-1 is better but it's difficult to explain details. This is not strange because the improvements we see today are smaller and more targetted. This was different in the past. I saw the same targetted improvements with other cameras like the Panasonic S5, the A1, the...

Hi Folks I did many updates to this article. I realize it is a difficult subject and not something casual hobby photographers like to discuss. Why is it good to read this article:- - You will understand why Fuji and OMDS said their stacked BSI sensors compete with full frame cameras - You will see m...

Let me confirm sensor size is everything ;) Back in the real world scientists improve the following things when they design new sensors:- - Image Processor - Sensor Speed - Sensor Resolution - Sensor sensitivity (Quantum and Optical efficiency) - Firmware - Reducing the noise floor of the sensor I d...

I wrote a short article on modern marketing and why reviewers refuse to accept the 2EV noise improvement and +1EV DR of the OM-1. The article also summarizes some technical points photographers need to more effectively use digital cameras. Lots of images with comments and a look at the Sony A1 and t...

Hi Johann I read your previous posts and it seems you were very happy with your EM10 IV, right? I am a little puzzled when I see someone starts with the negatives first on something like the OM-1. Not that the histogram or the little lever might not be a major thing to you, I was just hoping to see ...

Our aim is to improve the performance of the sensor by increasing sensor saturation and the SNR Whatever is coming off the sensor (image signal) is amplified with the ISO That means we only amplify what is happening on the sensor - if we have a desaturated sensor with low SNR then... The solution is...

The golden rule is, what can we as photographers do (adjust) to take better images, especially on older cameras. We have 3 settings, Aperture , Shutter Speed , and ISO to work with (I explained what they do) We know we can " Manage " the performance of the sensor (IQ and noise) by how much light is...
