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.
Back at Rocanini Coffee Roasters for a second time, and this time we shared a siphon coffee. Siphon is a vacuum coffee maker, the mechanics of it is quite simple, but the coffee resulted from this method is supposed to be rich, pure, smooth and crisp.
More local hanami photos, this time we were at Gary Point Park in Steveston. We were lucky that they are in full bloom all at once.
It has been lukewarm and rainy, but maybe I just forgot how Spring is supposed to feel, until my runny nose and itchy eyes confirm with me that Spring is actually here.
Rocanini Coffee Roasters opened a new store in Steveston sometime ago and this is the first time I visited it.
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.
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.
