My better half (AKA my spotter) and I took a walk at Oakwood cemetery the other day. We knew it was going to rain, so I took the OMD EM5 II and the 14-150, both of which are supposed to be weatherproof.
We were fortunate enough to get a shot of a Cooper's Hawk on the ground with its prey, shot at 300mm e with the Olympus digital zoom kicked in (so really, 600mm e).
Still, I wished I had the reach of the Sony HX400V . . . but it is not weatherproof.
This am, I wondered how images shot with the OMD EM5 II at 600mm e (with digital zoom kicked in) compared with HX400V shots at 600mm e (with no digital zoom), so I shot a pair of images.
Camera A:
Camera B:
Then I got curious how the two would compare if no digital zoom was involved, so \ here's a pair shot at 300mm e.
Camera A:
Camera B:
All shots were handheld, shot through a window, trying to focus on the lettering on the garbage can. No attempt was made to "normalize" the exposure; I put both cameras in P mode and faire roulez les bon temps.
So . . . which is the Sony and which is the Olympus?
Cheers, Jock
