Taking the D90 for a spin....

[ChristopherCoy]

These are ALL SOOC, so I am pretty sure that I've made this camera look bad. This is going to be such a learning curve for me coming from the E520 (which I didn't fully know how to use anyway), but there is so much more to this D90. Right off the bat, I CAN say that I think the Oly produced better colors SOOC, however there is SO MUCH LESS noise from this D90, even at ISO 1600! (see example below)

Introducing my model for the day.... Miss Hanna! As you can tell by the last pic, I wore her out.







And also Landry!



And our friends dog Rocky, who wasn't at all pleased to have his picture taken!






And here is the noise comparisons. I've tried to replicate the photo with the Nikon as best I can (however I didn't get it exact, but you can still tell a difference). Now I know that the one from the Olympus pic is severly under exposed, however I intently under exposed the one from the Nikon as well. Both were taken of the same horse, in the same stall, and the same time of day. Can you see the banding in the Oly pic, or is it just me?

Nikon D90

ETA... I just realized that I shot the Nikon picture at DOUBLE the ISO of the Oly pic.

huh... well these dont look as bad as I thought they did. I guess my laptop monitor really does suck.
