You
read our review of this hot camera, right?
And saw the standard photo gallery?
I
realize this isn't a perfect comparison -- after all, the Coolpix
5000 and E-10 aren't really in the same price range. But I wanted
to compare the Coolpix with a very capable 4 Megapixel camera (which
I just happen to own). I returned to Mission Dolores in San Francisco,
which has as lot of unusual lighting situations which really test
the cameras. I hope this test has some value -- please send
your comments or suggestions!
Note
that the lenses have very different focal ranges so it's hard to
make them exactly the same.
All
shots are taken hand-held at ISO 100 (80 on the E-10), no flash,
auto white balance, normal quality, in Program mode, unless otherwise
noted.
Clicking
on the thumbnail will display a reduced, 800 x 600 image. Clicking
on the link below that will show the full-size (large!) image.
