I have taken some night shots to compare the noise level of these three cameras that I own: Sony Alpha NEX-5N, Canon T1i and Panasonic Lumix GF2.  The Sony and Panasonic cameras are both mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, the Canon is a DSLR.  In terms of price point when introduced to market with a kit lens, the Canon is the most expensive of the three, the Panasonic is the cheapest.

All these cameras have different sensor sensitivity.  The most limiting of them is the Panasonic Lumix GF2 with a highest ISO 6400.  The Canon T1i has the highest ISO at 12800 and Sony Alpha NEX-5N has the highest ISO at 25600.  The above pictures are 100% crop at ISO 6400 for a fair comparison.  The Sony Alpha NEX-5N compares very favourably to the Canon T1i, if not better. The Alpha NEX-5N, having the APS-C size sensor (same size as the DSLR) seems to have given it a big image quality advantage over the Lumix GF2.

West Coast Amusements was back at Lansdowne Centre for the annual outdoor carnival last week.  It was the same night when I tested the GF2 but because I didn’t have a backup battery for the GF2 and it ran out of juice, I ended up spending the rest of the evening taking photos using the trusty T1i.

Time passed by again.  Now we are on the second last week of the year and Christmas is just another day away, I am finally able to look at some photos I took during Autumn and thought I would still share them with you.

Once again, we are at our local Minoru Park taking a leisure walk to enjoy the Autumn sun and the beautiful weather.  It was mild and sunny, and one of the best afternoons to take pictures at the Minoru Park.

Every year, snow geese migrate south to warmer places. They fly pass Vancouver round the end of October and beginning of November and we get to see thousands of them.

We have been meaning to visit the City Hall for a while. It is located in the city center of Richmond. Because of its location, it is usually quite busy around there and that is the reason we avoid driving near that area for as long as we can :P

With the weather getting chillier, fog is a common scene here in Vancouver.  Sometimes the fog gets so thick that even the sunlight cannot pass through.
