Olympus E-500

Noise

Results of the noise tests can be compared to those of the Fujifilm S9500. These cameras are of absolutely different types. But they actually compete with each other, especially for users who don't know yet what camera type they want.

Noise at ISO 100-400 is not high, but it grows noticeable at higher ISO, especially at ISO 1600. The E-500 is one of the noisiest reflex cameras with interchangeable lenses. But it fairs well against Fujifilm S9500. Their prices being identical, it will be a serious argument for the E-500.
