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.
Revolver Coffee is another local coffee bar that aim to stand out from the big chain coffee shops. What they offer is quite unique: their principal brew method is the 1940s industrial design icon Chemex coffee brewer.
Update: Photos also appear in http://www.dearcoffeeiloveyou.com/revolver-coffee/ Thanks Brian of Dear Coffee I Love You to feature my photos.
Summer is ending soon. After Labour Day (first Monday in September), school will go back to normal schedule and it seems another 10 months of hard work starts all over again in the work force. Summer always seem to give everyone a little break. However Summer is selfishly short here in Vancouver. The most enjoyable time in the year in my opinion is July and August. It is when the weather is usually the mildest, with the longest day light and has the least amount of rain.
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.
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.
