Camera comparison for film projects

Comparing the two cameras I have for shooting at this time. This comparison is written with a target audience of film makers. Images are from www.dpreview.com - highly recommended for comparisons and reviews of cameras.

Sony DSC-F828

Review with specs at DPreview.com.
This is a FIXED lens camera - F2.0-3.5; 28-200mm. Zoom is 7x with 2x digital enhancement. Shutter noise on this camera is extremely quiet. The pivoting body allows for photos around corners, off the floor, and from overhead. Autofocus can be joystick controlled to select any point in the frame.

Olympus E500

Review with specs at DPreview.com.
I have the following lens available for this camera, generally using the F2.8 which is best quality lens.

• F2.8-3.5; 14-54mm
• F4-5.6; 40-150mm (kit lens)

Note: ISO range for this camera runs very high with ISO boost, up to 1600 enabling better quality low-light images.

ISO noise: If using the Olympus F2.8 lens with the body's ISO boost feature it can take crisper photos than the Sony F2.0 lens. Noise with ISO is a factor. At ISO 400 the Sony's images become questionable. The range for ISO selection on the Olympus is very wide. Digital correction through editing can interpolate noise, and smooth noise out of photo through manual editting of selected photos. Automated processes can deliver good results, although manual adjustment on each photo produces best results.

I hope this comparison hits on the points that you would be interested in having addressed. If you have questions please post a comment and I will update the comparison or leave a follow-up comment. Make sure your email identity is entered so I can send you notice of the update. Thanks!

I'd like to say thank you to everyone that participated in creating The American Soldier Rock Fash Tribute Concert on Sunday, August 31. You stood the test of reason at times and chose to be unreasonable. For that you stand to be inspiring in the eyes of many.

I've post on the event website a link to the gallery of photos I took on my website. The key photo on this post is from Photastic Images who did excellent work creating promotional images and assisting in documenting the event. Thank you to all the photographers, videographers, crew, and staff around the event.

We went into this to serve those whom have served our country. We can honestly stand in the space of thanks from them and commit to creating our next event for the cause on August 29, 2009. It will be a year of preparation. We are seeking sponsors immediately that are interested in being mentioned throughout the year as we prepare.

Tomorrow is the big day. I'm sitting here creating the program booklet, final alterations then rush to print. So much to do and it has been great seeing our team come together over time. Sure there has been stress, people not getting what they want along the way. People from outside causing issues. Failed follow-ups and missed opportunities. These things are part of the growth cycle. You have to identify them as you move FORWARD and allow them to be what they are, stepping stones to a greater opportunity the next time.

We have a next opportunity in the works - The Detroit Erotica Ball. On Monday we'll be preparing how to handle the results from Soldier, but we'll also bring renewed attention to production of DEB, scheduled for October 25, 2008. Just a week before Halloween - there is a lot on the calendar during those two weeks. We have to carve our way into the forefront. Last year we had 750 people. This year we anticipate as a 2nd annual event higher attendance and better performance.

Silent Partners and 313FAD are cutting teeth and preparing some great productions.
