I'm obsessed with high-ISO, or at least a decent low light exposure
meter.
I'm waiting for the carbon nano-photo-multiplier-tube sensor camera
with ISO 13,107,200. 10mp is plenty. Just give me low SNR any day.
I guarantee I be able to take better crappy photos.
Try the same experiment with the E-1 in the hot summer
after a succession of several shots in a row and tell me if it can get
decent noise performance. My E-1 was smok'n hot and fail'n with
lockup. When things gets Hot, noise goes way up. I have yet to
see *any* camera tests versus temperature for cameras.
I believe that is one of the reasons telescope sensors are liquid
nitrogen cooled. Chill that E-1 down and anything is possible.
A great winter camera, until the lithiums start to fail, then I guess
you'll have to resort to an old manual mechanical film camera.
Wayne - never give up the high ISO performance
